If the below matches the h/w default, does this really cause a problem?

Note, we will not attempt to write the type if it matches the current
programmed type.

I had thought that the in DT file, the type for the PPI should align
with the h/w default in the case where it cannot be written. However, I
guess this is not explicitly stated anywhere I have found, but at the
same time the binding doc for the arm,gic.txt does not list
"IRQ_TYPE_NONE" as an option.

Marc, what are your thoughts?
