dt-bindings: arm, gic-v3: require that reserved cells are always 0
The arm,gic-v3 binding was written with good intentions and doesn't enforce interrupt-cells to be 3, therefore making it easy to extend the irq description in future if necessary: > Cells 4 and beyond are reserved for future use. Unfortunately, this sentence is immediately followed up with: > When the 1st cell has a value of 0 or 1, cells 4 and beyond act as > padding, and may be ignored. It is recommended that padding cells > have a value of 0. Consequently, any extensions to the PPI or SPI interrupt specifiers must be able to work with random crap from legacy DTs, effectively necessitating a new interrupt type in the first cell. Sigh. This patch fixes the text so that additional, reserved cells are required to be zero. This looks like a reasonable thing to require and is already satisifed by the .dts files in-tree.
