Looks like you have a mismatch here: 5210 or 4210?

That should be fine. If a node's interrupt-parent is itself, then that's
treated as a root interrupt controller.

Your fix doesn't really guarantee the proper order either. It's still a
side effect of the implementation. Perhaps a retry mechanism would work.
Then the init for wakeup_eint can retry if the gic is not yet setup.
