> The GICv3 RM requires "The first 1KB of memory for the LPI Pending tables must
> contain only zeros on initial allocation, and this must be visible to the
> Redistributors, or else the effect is UNPREDICTABLE".
> 
> And as the following statement, we here clear the whole Pending tables instead
> of the first 1KB.
> "An LPI Pending table that contains only zeros, including in the first 1KB,
> indicates that there are no pending LPIs.
> The first 1KB of the LPI Pending table is IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED. However,
> if the first 1KB of the LPI Pending table and the rest of the table contain only
> zeros, this must indicate that there are no pending LPIs."
> 
> And there isn't any pending LPI under U-Boot, so it's unnecessary to load the
> contents of the Pending table during the enablement, then set the
> GICR_PENDBASER.PTZ flag.
