Few comments below from someone oblivious to your platform, they may not
be all that relevant but I figured I'd pitch in anyway.

This assumes the handling part is guaranteed to always run on the same CPU
with the same performance profile (regardless of the platform). If that's
not guaranteed, it feels like you'd want this to be configurable in some
way.

Ideally you'd want to fetch the policy of the CPU your IRQ (and handling
thread) is affined to; The only compatible DTS I found describes a single
A7, which is somewhat limited in the affinity area...
