Which LPI region? We're talking about RDs, right... Or does LPI mean
something other than GIC LPIs for you?

Sorry, but I'm not sure I grasp your problem. Let me try and rephrase 
it:

- Your GIC is configured for (let's say) 8 CPUs, and your SoC has only 
4.

- As part of the probing, the driver iterates on the RD regions and 
explodes
  because something isn't mapped?

That'd be a grave bug, but I believe the issue is somewhere else.

This makes little sense. A redistributor region contains a bunch of 
RDs,
each of which maps onto a given CPU. We iterate on the RDs, and not on 
the
CPUs, as it is the RD that tells us which CPU it is affine with, not 
the
other way around.

If a RD is for some reason unavailable, then it shouldn't be described 
in
the firmware the first place. If you end-up exposing RD regions that do
not have the last RD having GICR_TYPER.Last set, then your SoC is 
broken,
and this needs yet another quirk.
