Hi Suravee,

Apologies for the late reply on this one. I was hoping that Marc would
be able to take another look at this, but he's away at present.

I'm still not entirely comfortable about this, as I was under the
impression that the MSI frame was a block on the side of the GIC rather
than being a composite entity with the rest of the GIC.

Which means that it would be entirely possible to attach multiple copies
of that block, which this binding doesn't cover.

And describing it as a separate (but related) component would get around
the issue of orthogonality with the GICV and GICH registers.

Nit: can we use the architected prefixes here please? GICC, GICD, GICH,
and GICV respectively for indexes 0-3.

Cheers,
Mark.
