Is there much advantage to this ifdef over providing a dummy asm/fiq.h
in ARM64?

I really hate this style. Just lay it out as a normal function.

Have we found that this additional complexity is actually necessary?
If not, we're over-engineering the code, making it more complex (and
hence more likely to be buggy) for very little reason.
Last night, I booted an unconditional version of this on OMAP3430, and
OMAP4430. It's also been booted on the range of iMX6 CPUs. Nothing
here has shown any signs of problems to having these registers written.

If we are going to do this conditionally, and the only thing which
is variable is the value to be written, I much prefer the conditional
bit to be on the value and not the write. The compiler doesn't always
optimise these things very well. So:
writel_relaxed(gic_data_fiq_enable(gic) ? 3 : 1, base + GIC_DIST_CTRL);
works well enough for me. If you feel better by using a temporary
local, that works for me too.

Same here.

And here.

Interestingly, here you write 0x1f unconditionally.

I guess that this always has to be done conditionally. I'd prefer this
test to be done slightly differently (and we might as well wrap in a bit
of patch 9 here):
if (sgi_is_nonsecure(irq, &gic_data[0]))
softint |= 0x8000;
which follows the true purpose of that bit. This bit only has effect if
we are running in secure mode, where it must match the status of the
target interrupt (as programmed into GIC_DIST_IGROUP).
We probably should do this based on a bitmask of SGIs in the
gic_chip_data, which is initialised according to how we've been able
to setup the GIC_DIST_IGROUP register(s).
