Ouch. That looks pretty bad. Bit 32 of the register doesn't stick, and
that's right in the middle of the address. The register should be
fully writable as far as the address field is concerned.

Please dump the distributor and ITS IIDR registers so that I can find
the TRM for the exact IP.

Urgh... this really looks like broken silicon to me.

Why? Does this also apply to the command queue? Are they forcing cache
flushing?

So the command queue is not making forward progress. Either because
the ITS cannot access the commands, or because it cannot use the
memory it has been allocated. Please dump GITS_CBASER (and the value
that has been written to it), just in case it shows the same
brokenness as the GITS_BASER registers...

I'm not sure there is much we can do without a lot more details about
the HW. We need to know the exact GIC implementation they are using
(ARM has two versions of the GICv3 IP), and we also need to find out
*how* this has been integrated. Only Rockchip can tell you that.

Once we know which version they are using, and how it is wired, we can
start looking at some IMPDEF debug registers.

The Linux driver assumes that the ITS is able to access the whole
memory. If there are restrictions on what memory ranges can be used,
it is going to be a pain to support :-(.
