The 4th cell is a phandle to a node describing a set of CPUs this
interrupt is affine to. The interrupt must be a PPI, and the node
pointed must be a subnode of the "ppi-partitions" subnode. For
interrupt types other than PPI or PPIs that are not partitionned,
this cell must be zero. See the "ppi-partitions" node description
below.

Sub-nodes:

PPI affinity can be expressed as a single "ppi-partitions" node,
containing a set of sub-nodes, each with the following property:
- affinity: Should be a list of phandles to CPU nodes (as described in
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/cpus.txt).

GICv3 has one or more Interrupt Translation Services (ITS) that are
used to route Message Signalled Interrupts (MSI) to the CPUs.
