Hi guys,

I already tried to constrain the max_irq=64, then the warnings disappeared.

but now I got new problems.

as long as the program jump to the interrupt
routine(realview_timer_interrupt) of the timer0, the program can not
go further, it only toggles between the gic_* functions, such as
gic_ack_irq. gic_mask_irq, handle_level_irq, and so on.

do you have any idea where could be the problem?
Best regards,

Yang
