8.1.6 Interrupt Controller Reset Conditions
On reset, the interrupt controller performs the following nine actions:
1. All special fully nested mode (SFNM) bits are reset, implying fully nested mode.
2. All priority (PR) bits in the various control registers are set to 1. This places all sources
at the lowest priority (level 7).
3. All level-triggered mode (LTM) bits are reset to 0, resulting in edge-triggered mode.
4. All interrupt in-service bits are reset to 0.
5. All interrupt request bits are reset to 0.
6. All mask (MSK) bits are set to 1. All interrupts are masked.
7. All cascade (C) bits are reset to 0 (non-cascade).
8. The interrupt priority mask is set to 7, allowing interrupts of all priorities.
9. The interrupt controller is initialized to Master mode.
