Subject: 答复: [PATCH] irqchip/gic-v3: Check SRE bit for GICv2 legacy support

Hi Ard and all,

The issue is root caused, it is introduced by BIOS new feature implemented. 
With old BIOS，we use static MADT table and the GICV/GICH is set to 0 and reported this table to OS. But we added new features which will dynamic update MADT table based on some external input, the developer is set GICV/GICH as what we have done like previous generation chipset code did. But in fact, there is different compared with old generation chipset code.
I'll let my internal team know this and fix this issue in later BIOS release.

Thanks!

Sorry response late.
Hi Shameer & Ard,

Could you let me know which firmware you are using? If the difference is Madt table vGIC your pointed , they are the same. We changed the vGIC memory base address at very early design stage.

Thanks！

Ok. Thanks for pointing this out. I have informed our UEFI team about this.
They will check Internally and clarify.
