To init GIC in ACPI, we can only use the table entry pointer as
the token, but the ACPI static tables are early mem/io remapped
memory at boot stage, and it will be not available after boot,
also we need muti types of MADT enties to init GIC (GICC and GICD
for GICv2, GICC or GICR and GICD for GICv3), not as DT, just
one single node to include all the information needed to init
the GIC.

We use ACPI handle for devices as node for DT when the namespace
is available, but that's pretty late in the boot stage which GIC,
SMP and timers were already initialized, so ACPI handle can not
use as the token too.

I see multi places just pass NULL as the pointer directly for
irq_domain_add_linear() which works fine, and for ACPI, we tested
this patch and also it works.

Hope comment above explains :)
