This approach doesn't handle the SMP case correctly --
when a CPU is reset then the CPU interface for that CPU
(and only that CPU) should be reset. Your code will
reset every CPU interface every time any CPU is reset.

I think it would be better to use the same approach that
the arm_gicv3_cpuif.c code uses to arrange for cpu i/f
registers to be reset, perhaps by moving the appropriate
parts of that code into the common source file.

Having the reset state depend implicitly on the kernel's
internal state (as you have here for the ICC_CTLR_EL1
state) is something I'm a bit unsure about -- what goes
wrong if you don't do that?

thanks
