Two things:

- Please make this a separate patch that can be reviewed independently
of the rest of the changes, which are just adding new compatible
identifiers.

- Why can't you simply expose it as a separate controller? Looking at
the way you're changing the corresponding driver, it looks like you're
simply adding an extra base/size. If you simply had a base for the
corresponding GIC interrupts, you could handle as many region as you
want, and have a more generic driver.
