Hi Prabhakar,

Thanks for your series!

Originally, when I assumed incorrectly that dtc does not support
arithmetic, I used "nr" and "na" in the macro I proposed to mean RISC-V
("r") resp. ARM ("a") interrupt number.  Apparently the names stuck,
although the second parameter now has a completely different meaning ;-)

However, as the NCEPLIC does support interrupt flags, unlike the SiFive
PLIC, there is no need to have the flags parameter in the macro.

Moreover,  it looks like the SOC_PERIPHERAL_IRQ_NUMBER()
intermediate is not needed, so you can just write:

    #define SOC_PERIPHERAL_IRQ(nr)  (nr + 32)
