[PATCH] irqchip/gic-v3: Remove the ISB between AP0Rn and AP1Rn

From: Li Dou

Date: Sun Aug 23 2026 - 22:35:19 EST


ARM GICv3 specification says(in section 4.8.4 "System register access to
the Active Priorities registers"):

an ISB is not required between each write to ICC_AP0R<n>_EL1,
Secure ICC_AP1R<n>_EL1, and Non-secure ICC_AP1R<n>_EL1.

It means we can use one ISB after resetting AP0Rn and AP1Rn for context
synchronization. So just remove the previous one.
