The MSI part is normally enabled from the optional "msi-controller" 
keyword. It should not really matter which compatible ID it uses.

Ooops. I noticed that was accidentally dropped the check for 
"msi-controller" in the gicv2m_of_init() function.  I'll send a follow 
up patch to fix this.

PCI is the dependency for this patch to function.  So, it should be 
aligned with upstreaming of PCI patches.
