this is weird, why not have a define for the success case?
I still think the debug printing should be done inside
armv7_switch_nonsec instead, and you can just have it be a void();

you could simplify this function and make it an unsigned function and
return (unsigned)-1 on error (and do the debug error print right away in
there).

this is weird, the function is called get_gic_base_address, but you're
returning the distributor base address, and the GIC_DIST_OFFSET is
actually an A15/A7 specific thing.

there's really no need having this be a pointer when you use writel /
readl to access it.

I would do the readl first, and then the writel, but it's just a matter
of style.
"gicdptr + GICD_CTLR" seems cleaner

Besides my crazy nit-picking, this looks good to me.
