You do realise that this link:

- is unusable for most people as it is behind a registration interface
- discloses confidential information to other people

I strongly suggest you stop posting such links.

11.1.3 GIC memory-mapped register access

In any system, access to the following registers must be supported:

[...]
* Byte accesses to:
	- GICD_IPRIORITYR<n>.
	- GICD_ITARGETSR<n>.
	- GICD_SPENDSGIR<n>.
	- GICD_CPENDSGIR<n>.
	- GICR_IPRIORITYR<n>.
</quote>

So if GIC600 doesn't follow this architectural requirement, this is a
HW erratum, and I want an actual description of the HW issue together
with an erratum number.

Lorenzo, can you please investigate on your side?

Thanks,

	M.
