Subject: [RFC PATCH v3 0/4] irqchip/gic-v3: Add support to DT based quirk for msm8996

Access to GICR_WAKER is restricted on msm8996 SoC in Hypervisor.
There are many devices out there with this restriction in place
and there has been no update to this firmware since last few years,
making those devices totally unusable for upstream development.

My previous attempts to add quick based on IIDR register value seems to be
flawed by the fact that the value conflicted with other SoCs.
Last Suggestion by Marc Z using compatible seems to be the only way to apply
quirks required for msm8996 based SoCs.

Here is the patchset which add new compatible for msm8996 gicv3 and add
support gic_enable_of_quirks() followed by the actual quirk required for msm8996.

Without this quirk many qcom SoCs (atleast 3 that I know) are
unable to boot mainline.

Thanks,
Srini
