These 2 APIs are really poorly designed. The index to the priority array 
is controlled by plic->num_src which comes from DTS, so there is 
potentially a mismatch between the DTS property value and the size of 
the priority array.

Currently the only user of these 2 APIs in OpenSBI is D1 and the size of 
the priority array is set to 176. There is no problem if DTS provides a 
less than 176 value. Otherwise it can cause out-of-bound access in 
OpenSBI.
