Hello Thomas,

thanks for your comments.
After Marc's suggestion we found a better solution. So dropping this patch set.

What's 'this bit mapping' ? This sentence does not parse.

offset 0x10000 instead of 0x1000, thus remap accordingly

I have a hard time to map this comment to the change log, which suggests
to me that this is the other way round.

+static bool gic_8kbaccess(void *data)

+ struct gic_chip_data *gic = data;
+ void __iomem *alt;
+
+ if (!is_hyp_mode_available())
+ return false;

+ alt = ioremap(gic->cpu_phys_base, GIC_STM32MP2_CPU_DEACTIVATE + 4);
+ if (!alt) {
+ pr_err("Unable to remap GICC_DIR register\n");
+ return false;

That's a hack because in case that the remap fails, this leaves the
thing enabled, but disfunctional.

Thanks,
