If you do this, please update the binding first, as this interrupt
is not described there yet.

OK. Please verify that this is actually the case, and that the last
redistributor (at offset 0x60000) has GICR_TYPER.Last set. I have
recently seen GICs configured for a larger number of CPUs where
some of them were disabled in HW, and the DT was wrongly describing
some of the redistributors only, leading to SW crashes.

Thanks,
