Issue related to treating a pointer as an array:

        for (girc_enable_set = (uint32_t *)&INTS_INST->GIRQ08_EN_SET;
             girc_enable_set <= &INTS_INST->GIRQ15_EN_SET;
             girc_enable_set += 5) {
			*girc_enable_set = 0xFFFFFFFF;
		}

If we want we could just remove the loop and do:

		INTS_INST->GIRQ08_EN_SET = 0xFFFFFFFF;
		INTS_INST->GIRQ09_EN_SET = 0xFFFFFFFF;
		INTS_INST->GIRQ10_EN_SET = 0xFFFFFFFF;
		INTS_INST->GIRQ11_EN_SET = 0xFFFFFFFF;
        ...
		INTS_INST->GIRQ15_EN_SET = 0xFFFFFFFF;

But marking this as something we aren't going to change and isn't an issue.

there are other places that coverity is complaining the same thing. I vote classify it as intentional and close the issue.
