Sorry I don't get that question.

The "arm_gic_v3_its" and "arm_gic_v3" driver uses existing DT
properties and should work with all existing boards.

The madt_gicc entries are board specific. Besides the mpidr all of
them can be 0.
Those entries currently do not have matching DT properties in the CPU
node that could be used.
Some of those entries are present in the GIC node, but there's no
direct association between CPU nodes and GIC nodes.
