OK. So let's move the comment in that function to the top, and indicate
that this also applies to the GICD_SETSPI_NSR register.

OK, so you're not taking advantage of the the CLEAR register here? Sad.

That's not how my own D05 boots. It is ACPI only. How is that going to
work on this platform?

Fair enough.
