I'm not convinced that there is any actual production hardware that
would get broken by your patch, just QEMU, so I think it should get
fixed to output devicetrees that are spec compliant rather than add some
riscv-specific hacks that we can't even gate on the "qemu,aplic"
compatible because QEMU doesn't use the compatible created for it...
Spec violations aside, the QEMU aplic nodes in the DT contain a bunch
of other issues, including using properties that changed in the
upstreaming process. Here's the issues with Alistair's current riscv
tree for QEMU w/ -smp 4 -M virt,aia=aplic,dumpdtb=$(qemu_dtb) -cpu max -m 1G -nographic

I guess noone updated QEMU to comply with the bindings that actually got
upstreamed for the aplic?
