I have mentioned this earlier, it's not clear yet to me how does this work ?
It needs more clarity in the form of comment here at-least as the ACPIv5.0 is
also not so clear or explicit on how to handle this.

Here you are expecting gic->uid = acpi_id which is fine, while acpi_map_cpuid
matches apic_id with cpu_physical_id(which must be MPIDR in ARM{32,64}). The
latter imposes restriction that gic->gic_id has to be MPIDR. Does that mean we
are imposing restriction on GIC ID to be MPIDR ? If so please document it here
and please explain the reason behind that choice.

I would expect _UID to be MPIDR rather than GIC ID but you may have some reasons
for this choice.

Regards,
Sudeep
