Just some brainstorming...

The SOC_PERIPHERAL_IRQ() macro should be defined in the
ARM-based SoC.dtsi file and the RISC-V-based SoC.dtsi file.

I feel the same.
Even listing both interrupt numbers in SOC_PERIPHERAL_IRQ(na, nr)
is a risk for making mistakes.
So personally, I'm in favor of teaching dtc arithmetic, so we can
handle the offset in SOC_PERIPHERAL_IRQ().
