[Xen-devel] [PATCH 1/2] gic-vgic: Drop an excessive clear_lrs



From: Andrii Anisov <andrii_anisov@xxxxxxxx>

This action is excessive because for an invalid LR there is no need
to write another invalid value to a register. So we can skip it here,
saving a peripheral register write.
Keep clearing the LR for the DEBUG build. This would make dumped
invalid LRs be zero. That is more obvious than picking state bits
from a non-zero value.
