FWIW I changed the string to "arm,arm1176-gic"
But this isn't about the CPU actually. It is the ARM1176JZF development
chip. See:
http://infocenter.arm.com/help/topic/com.arm.doc.ddi0375a/DDI0375A_arm1176jzf_dev_chip_r0p0_trm.pdf
I know it is confusingly named as a name of a SoC that has this
CPU inside it but what can I do ... some guys named ARM came
up with this.
Should use the string "arm,arm1176jzf-devchip-gic"?

This seems to be a follow-on to the above confusion.
