Doh... bad assumption... Silly me.

With

+       { .compatible = "arm,gic-400", },

the kernel no longer crashes due to accessing the GIC registers while the
GIC module clock is disabled.

However, the system doesn't boot completely, and time outs on SPI transfers
make me believe interrupts are not working.
Both with and without "the following change".
