Now that we have GIC moved to drivers/irqchip and all GIC DT init for
platforms using irqchip_init, move gic.h and update the remaining
includes.

Can you elaborate on why this is done? Does any other code rely on the
header file being globally visible, or is there a more general reason
to move header files out of asm/ ?

KVM needs the register definitions for GIC distributor emulation.
Platform SMP code still needs gic_secondary_init. Non-DT platform init
still needs gic_init. And Russell did not like it being left in arch/arm
with the rest moved out.

Ok, makes sense.
