I haven't reviewed the code yet, but the fact that you allow (and
actually request) the interrupt priorities to be encoded in the DT
raises some concerns:

- Aren't priorities entirely under software control (and hence don't
  belong in DT)?
- More crucially, how do you deal with nested interrupts when you have
  interrupts running at different priorities? Most parts of Linux
  cannot cope with that without additional support.

Thanks,
