Agreed. Removing these defines along with removing the priorities from the bindings as suggested makes sense. With doing that, this header file becomes pointless and it will be dropped.

These priorities are hardware priorities that arbitrate pending interrupts to the CPU. These are indeed software configurable and we can agree that DT is probably not the best place to put this configuration in light of this. We'll default to something sane instead. They will be removed from the binding.
