These PIDR values(not all) are used by both vgic-v3 and gicv3 driver. So those
are kept in common header file.

I plan to keep all defines without GICV3 prefix and add V3
specific one GICD_PIDR2_ARCH_V3_VAL

 #define GICD_PIDR0_VAL               (0x92)
 #define GICD_PIDR1_VAL               (0xb4)
-#define GICD_PIDR2_ARCH_VAL          (0x30)
+#define GICD_PIDR2_ARCH_V3_VAL       (0x3)
 #define GICD_PIDR2_VAL               (0x3b)
 #define GICD_PIDR4_VAL               (0x04)
 #define GICD_PIDR2_ARCH_MASK         (0xf0)
+#define GICD_PIDR2_ARCH_SHIFT        (4)

 #define GICR_PIDR0_VAL               (0x93)
 #define GICR_PIDR1_VAL               GICD_PIDR1_VAL
-#define GICR_PIDR2_ARCH_VAL          GICD_PIDR2_ARCH_VAL
+#define GICR_PIDR2_ARCH_V3_VAL       GICD_PIDR2_ARCH_V3_VAL
 #define GICR_PIDR2_VAL               GICD_PIDR2_VAL
 #define GICR_PIDR4_VAL               GICD_PIDR4_VAL
 #define GICR_PIDR2_ARCH_MASK         GICD_PIDR2_ARCH_MASK
+#define GICR_PIDR2_ARCH_SHIFT        GICD_PIDR2_ARCH_SHIFT
