For direction of MPM pin -> GIC interrupt, it's a 1:1 mapping, i.e. for
given MPM pin, there is only one GIC interrupt.  And that's the
mapping MPM driver relies on.  For GIC interrupt -> MPM pin, it's not
a strict 1:1 mapping.  For given GIC interrupt, there could be up to 2
MPM pin mapped to it.  MPM driver doesn't use this direction of mapping
though.

OK. If you do not see anything wrong on the vendor code logic, I plan to
replace my broken code with it.
