Please find attached patch 00578cd864d45 ("MIPS: VDSO: Drop gic_get_usm_range() usage")
 and apply to {4.4,4.9}-stable tree for solving this conflict.

Thanks!

Subject: [PATCH] MIPS: VDSO: Drop gic_get_usm_range() usage

commit 00578cd864d45ae4b8fa3f684f8d6f783dd8d15d upstream

We don't really need gic_get_usm_range() to abstract discovery of the
address of the GIC user-visible section now that we have access to its
base address globally.

Switch to calculating it ourselves, which will allow us to stop
requiring the irqchip driver to care about a counter exposed to userland
for use via the VDSO.
