Hi Marek,

The clearer explanation will be added in the commit log.

This is based on Arm® System Control and Management Interface Platform Design Document Version 3.2 (Document number: DEN0056E) 5.1.2. When Bit[0] of Channel flags is 1, the System Manager runs on M core will trigger general-purpose interrupts to A core. U-Boot polls General-purpose Status (GSR) until GIPn is set.

Will change it in v4.
