yes. This is achieved using the "ibm,plat-res-int-priorities" property of the device tree. I don't think we also need to check these priority ranges when allocating the EQs. We can just allocate them all (8 priorities) and let the hcalls do the checks. They should return H_P3 or H_P4 if the prio is invalid. C.
