Contrary to other GICv3 interrupts, LPIs do not have an active state
by virtue of being edge-triggered only (they only have a pending state).

Given this, there is no point trying to deactivate them, and we can
skip the ICC_DIR_EL1 entierely.

In case of EOIMode == 0, we do not call EOI. I can't understand whether
it is an issue.
In 4.8.3 Properties of LPI, in 2d note it is written:

"SW must issue a write to EOI to clear the active priorities register,
hence the CPU interface still requires an active state for LPIs, even
through this is not necessary within the redistributor"

What do you mean? We definitely perform an EOI in both EOImodes...

... right here.

Of am I missing something completely obvious?

Thanks,

yes sorry please forget this. I think I meant EOImode == 1 instead and
anyway the EOI is done in gic_handle_irq.

Apologies
