This sounds like it would be a critical error.

It would be best to at least pr_warn() if you can't map a CPU's AI
interface.

Here base goes out of scope. If you don't need it, it would be best
practice to iounmap it (even if that happens to be a no-op on your
arch).

It's probably best to give the name explicitly in the driver (e.g.
"AIC"), rather than taknig whatever happens to be in the DT (which
should be 'interrupt-controller@<addr>'.

If the core code wants to mask IRQs, how do you handle that? Can you
mask your CPU traps?

Thanks,
