[U-Boot] ref: virt-v7.c switching to non_secure mode

Hi Christoffer / uboot,

We are able to figure out the issue. PERIPHBASE returned on ARNDALE board was 0x10500000 and adding GIC offset was creating an incorrect address. 

Setting CONFIG_ARM_GIC_BASE_ADDRESS as 0x10480000 in arndale.h solves the issue.

The u-boot code needs to be fixed for arndale right ? Please confirm

Regards
Manish
