Some DT enabled platforms may only have the gic or vic included in their
match list currently because other interrupt controllers aren't yet
converted to DT. I believe Exynos is one such example.

No. I don't think moving this into the gic and vic code just to move it
back out later is a good idea. Just looking at the diffstat, the net
number of lines removed is not very compelling either.
