Karan,

Entire commit msg lacks proper rationale for such significant change.
Rationale is for example: "this is an interrupt controller", but here
reason is rather "I want to fix error".

Important for every work focusing on fixing warnings/errors is to fix
the cause, not the warning/error itself. Karan, you fixed the warning in
a way it went away, but this did no fix the cause of the problem. You
must find the real causes. Usually understanding the problem is
necessary for that.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
