An ARM system based on GICv1 that runs by default in secure mode and uses both group 0 and group 1 interrupts (in order to exploit FIQ) will suffer a problem where the IRQ handler occasionally spuriously acknowledges a group 0 (FIQ) interrupt.
This can be prevented by ensuring the IRQ handler makes non-secure memory access to the GIC registers but this is complex because the non-secure bits cannot be apply to 4k pages (the bit is one level up in the page table and applies to 1MB at a time).
This workaround uses an alternative approach that spots the spurious acknowledgment and regenerates the FIQ. This keeps the workaround exclusively within the GIC driver (although there is a runtime perforamnce penalty resulting from this approach).
