This sounds awfully generic. Is there not a more complete name?

I don't understand what this gic-irq property is for; and it generally
doesn't look right.

Could you please describe what this is and why you thing it is
necessary?

Likewise could you please elaborate on this is?

What is a VPE number? What does it mean to start at that number?

Is this something the kernel dynamically allocates? Why does this need
to be in the DT?

Thanks,
