The device tree describes the hardware.  Priority is configuration, and thus 
doesn't belong there.  You can call mpic_irq_set_priority() from board code.

Likewise, the fact that you want to route irq7 to sie0 is configuration, not 
hardware description.  At most, the device tree should describe is what is 
connected to each sie output.  There's no current Linux support for routing 
an interrupt to sie or anything other than "int".
