I tested these patches. Because our kernel is based on v4.4, so I back
port most changes about
include/linux/irqdomain.h
kernel/irq/irqdomain.c
drivers/irqchip/irq-gic-v3.c
and change rk3399.dtsi base on your arm,gic-v3.txt:

gic: interrupt-controller@fee00000 {
compatible = "arm,gic-v3";
- #interrupt-cells = <3>;
+ #interrupt-cells = <4>;
#address-cells = <2>;
#size-cells = <2>;
...
+
+ ppi-partitions {
+ part0: interrupt-partition-0 {
+ affinity = <&cpu_l0 &cpu_l1 &cpu_l2 &cpu_l3>;
+ };
+
+ part1: interrupt-partition-1 {
+ affinity = <&cpu_b0 &cpu_b1>;
+ };
+ };

and change every interrupts from three cells to four cells, such as
saradc: saradc@ff100000 {
compatible = "rockchip,rk3399-saradc";
reg = <0x0 0xff100000 0x0 0x100>;
- interrupts = <GIC_SPI 62 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>;
+ interrupts = <GIC_SPI 62 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH 0>;
#io-channel-cells = <1>;
clocks = <&cru SCLK_SARADC>, <&cru PCLK_SARADC>;
clock-names = "saradc", "apb_pclk";

and pmu define as:
pmu_a53 {
compatible = "arm,cortex-a53-pmu";
interrupts = <GIC_PPI 7 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_LOW &part0>;
interrupt-affinity = <&cpu_l0>,
<&cpu_l1>,
<&cpu_l2>,
<&cpu_l3>;
};

pmu_a72 {
compatible = "arm,cortex-a72-pmu", "arm,cortex-a57-pmu";
interrupts = <GIC_PPI 7 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_LOW &part1>;
interrupt-affinity = <&cpu_b0>,
<&cpu_b1>;
};

It can boot. And I test with Android simpleperf stat and perf top, it works!
So these patches work on RK3399.

But as I mentioned, we must change every interrupt in dts, do you think
this is acceptable?

I don't change drivers/perf/arm_pmu.c, it just work.
