While this is a fix that we should have, I'm not certain I see why this
is urgent. A dt can already have:

	compatible = "arm,gic-400", "arm,cortex-a15-gic";

Which will work _today_, before this patch. If we need to treat the A15
GIC string differently, we'll have to ensure we support the GIC 400
string first.

Thanks,
Mark.
