irqchip/gic: WARN if setting the interrupt type for a PPI fails Setting the interrupt type for private peripheral interrupts (PPIs) may not be supported by a given GIC because it is IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED whether this is allowed. There is no way to know if setting the type is supported for a given GIC and so the value written is read back to verify it matches the desired configuration. If it does not match then an error is return. There are cases where the interrupt configuration read from firmware (such as a device-tree blob), has been incorrect and hence gic_configure_irq() has returned an error. This error has gone undetected because the error code returned was ignored but the interrupt still worked fine because the configuration for the interrupt could not be overwritten. Given that this has done undetected and that failing to set the configuration for a PPI may not be a catastrophic, don't return an error but WARN if we fail to configure a PPI. This will allows us to fix up any places in the kernel where we should be checking the return status and maintain backward compatibility with firmware images that may have incorrect PPI configurations.
