It is more subtle than that:

- PPIs must have the affinity parameter in their int-spec (since you
  need that for the PMU)

- SPIs that are directly routed to the GIC must also have the affinity
  parameter (although set to zero).

- SPIs that are routed via the sysirq block (or any other) can use the
  3 parameter variant, as they are not resolved in the context of the
  GIC, but in that of the sysirq.

But in short, yes. You should be able to drop this patch altogether.

That's absolutely fine.

Thanks,
