commit005c34ae4bupstream. The GIC driver uses a RMW sequence to update the affinity, and relies on the gic_lock_irqsave/gic_unlock_irqrestore sequences to update it atomically. But these sequences only expand into anything meaningful if the BL_SWITCHER option is selected, which almost never happens. It also turns out that using a RMW and locks is just as silly, as the GIC distributor supports byte accesses for the GICD_TARGETRn registers, which when used make the update atomic by definition. Drop the terminally broken code and replace it by a byte write.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
