The same as in _nonsec_init

periphbase &= PERIPHBASE_MASK; // 0xffff8000

you can start from i = 1 here, since in _nonsec_init you already have:

       mvn     r1, #0                          @ all bits to 1
       str     r1, [r3, #GICD_IGROUPRn]        @ allow private interrupts

+               writel((unsigned)-1, gicdaddr + GICD_IGROUPRn + 4 * i);
