ARCv2: intc: default all interrupts to priority 1
ARC HS Cores support configurable multiple interrupt priorities of upto 16 levels. In commit dec2b2849cfcc ("ARCv2: intc: Allow interruption by lowest priority interrupt") we switched to 15 which seems a bit excessive given that there would be rare hardware implementing so many preemption levels AND running Linux. It would seem that 2 levels will be more common so switch to 1 as the default priority level. This will be the "lower" priority level saving 0 for implementing NMI style support. This scheme also works in systems with more than 2 prioity levels as well. Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta <vgupta@synopsys.com>
