I missed before that "msi-map" is not actually added?

Likewise, make dtbs_check: "'#msi-cells' is a required property"
And it must be <1>, so msi-parent above is wrong, too?

I have already queued this in renesas-devel as commit 7fe73a3a3f2c3718
("arm64: dts: renesas: r8a779g0: Add GICv3 ITS and update PCIe nodes"),
but I can still amend it.

Thanks!
