Thanks for your patch, which is now commit 44bd78dd2b8897f5
("irqchip/gic-v3: Disable pseudo NMIs on Mediatek devices w/
firmware issues") in v6.4-rc4.

This causes enabling an unrelated workaround on R-Car V4H:

    GIC: enabling workaround for GICv3: Cavium erratum 38539

Presumably the loop should continue if none of quirks-compatible
or quirks->property is set?
