During the secondary cores' cold boot path, the cores initialise the GIC CPU interface. However this is a redundant action since 1) the cores are powered down immediately after that, 2) the GIC CPU interface is initialised from scratch when the secondary cores are powered up again later. Moreover, this part of code was introducing a bug. In a GICv3 system, the GIC's CPU interface system registers must not be written without the core being marked as "awake" in the redistributor. However, this sequence was performing such accesses and this would cause those cores to hang. The hang was caused by the DSB instruction that would never complete because of the GIC not recognising those writes. For the two aforementioned reasons, the entire part of the GIC CPU interface initialisation is removed.
