Hey Anup,

I thought I had already replied here but clearly not, sorry!

While I think of it, it'd be worth noting that these are generic across
all of topi, mtopi etc. Initially I thought that this mask was wrong as
the topi section says:
	bits 25:16 Interrupt identity (source number)
	bits 7:0 Interrupt priority

Which makes sense in theory.

Yup, it is liable to end up like that.

What I was advocating for was picking one style and sticking to it.
These copy-paste from docs things are tedious and error prone to review,
and I don't think having multiple styles is helpful.

Tedious as it was, I did check all the numbers though, so in that
respect:
