Really thank you for rapid response,
Yes, as arm documents https://developer.arm.com/docuentation/ka002107/latest said
It comes from armv8.2 get 3 types for affinity (arm v8.0 cpus only get 2 types)
And it's an implementations issue.

ASR8601 is our soc's name, and yes it’s a kind of HW integration issue
But maybe it’s not an erratum since our HW design is like that, although
Arm doesn't recommend this way.
And I would like to add more comments
Under the next part before *desc = "GICv3: ASR 8601 MPIDR shift"*
Maybe this is a better way? Or add something under Documentation?

Okay, I'll try to refactor it

Yes, asr8601 is our soc, and we want to use compatible node in devices-tree to control it,
As I mentioned at previous part, it might works well under
armv8.2(3 types of affinity) with gic500, but these code get strongly order with HW integration

Thanks again,
