Sorry to ask the obvious, but why should we implement another MIDR check
that is private to the GIC driver, while we already have an
infrastructure that deals with that kind of things?

Also, the GIC CPU interface is very much part of the CPU, not part the
GIC itself. I'd rather see a CPU erratum being handler at the same
location as all the other errata.

Thanks,

	M.
