In hindsight, we should not need that change, and the use of
cpu_logical_map[] within drivers/irqchip/irq-bcm7038-l1.c should be
restricted to a MIPS build where the driver is a level 1 interrupt
controller and there are multiple per-cpu register copies.
In an ARM/ARM64 configuration that driver is always used as a second
level interrupt controller whereby it is hanging off the ARM GIC
interrupt controller, and the intc->cpus[] array will only be 1 element.
Fortunately since you cannot re-parent a L2 interrupt controller's
interrupt handler to a different CPU, "it just happens to work".
Thanks!
