[recurring theme: I happen to know about this section of the binding,
having written the original myself]

How does that contradict my comment? GIC600's GICA page only contains
the four {SET,CLR}_SPI registers, as expected (see section 4.3 in the
TRM[1]), and the address is computed using table 4-1 "Register map
pages" of the same document.

Please either fix the DT or explain why the GICA distributor alias
isn't usable.
