I seem to be missing this clear operation in your patch. Can you please point me to the same.

But I thought we still don't have GICv3 driver in Linux. So did you boot linux with GICv2 or GICv3?

So this seems to be a documentation BUG, did you provide a feedback to the ARM support folks regarding the same
- they should probably fix the documentation.

I agree about the ARMv7/v8 code sharing, but with GICv3 there is an additional problem - it can be configured as 
GICv2 as well and for the same it would make sense to move common code b/w the CONFIG_GICV2/CONFIG_GICV3 code legs
to a common leg.
