Hi, Marc
	I may NOT know the history of enabling secure/non-secure of GIC very well, will spend
some time look into it later, during the upstream of our i.MX6UL's suepnd/resume,
I found patch(19bcd001 ARM: cobble together FIQ backtracing) break kernel resume function. After
looking into the gic driver, I saw the dist_inti set all global interrupts to GROUP 1(non-secure), but in
dist_restore, it does NOT restore those settings, after restoring them, suspend/resume works.

	Don't we need to make this GIC distributor settings after resume aligned with before suspend?
Before suspend, global interrupts are set to non-secure, but after resume, it is by default set to
secure mode, while cpu controller signal secure interrupts to FIQn, so that is incorrect, not sure
if my understanding is correct, please correct me if I am wrong.

	Thanks.
Anson
