Yes RDs only.

Yes, suppose gic is configured for 8 cpus but soc has only 4 cpus. Then 
in this case gic_iterate will iterate till it get TYPER_LAST.

But as gic is configured for 8, So last bit sets in eight redistributor 
regions only.

There are 4 cpus present, that's why we have mapped 4 redistributor 
only, but during probe below function keeps iterating and give mem abort 
for 5th cpu.

static void gic_update_vlpi_properties(void)
{
         gic_iterate_rdists(__gic_update_vlpi_properties);

}

We can solve this problem by mapping all eight redistributor in dt, but 
ideally code should also able to handle this and we can avoid mappin?
