Access to GICR_WAKER is restricted on msm8996 SoC in Hypervisor. Its been more than 2+ years of wait for this to be fixed, which has no hopes to be fixed. This change was introduced for the "lead device" on msm8996 platform. It looks like all publicly available msm8996 and other Qualcomm SoCs have this implementation. So add a quirk to not access this register on msm8996. With this quirk MSM8996 can at least boot out of mainline, which can help community to work with boards based on MSM8996 and other SoCs with have this restrictions. This Quirk is based on device tree compatible string. Without this patch Qualcomm DB820c board reboots when GICR_WAKER is accessed.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
