The commit message does not fully describe all changes of this patch.
It would be helpful to split it into separate patches.
Having only one change in each patch makes debugging later easier,
because you don't have to manually undo parts of a patch to find out
what is going on.

I think it would make sense to add a "depends on TARGET_AX25_AE350" to
the RISCV_NDS config, so that it is not shown for other boards.

It would be great if we could enable cache support by default, to make
sure it is tested by Travis-CI. Some time ago, it was suggested on the
riscv-linux mailing list to use the CSR numbers instead of the names.
This way, the generic GCC compiler will not complain about the unknown
CSRs. I think, this would be a good idea. What do you think?

I previously read this as call_board_init_f, which is why I thought it
should be moved. Of course this is already correct :)

I thought about this a bit more. I don't think we can flush the data
cache with the fence instruction. It is only used to enforce ordering
constraints. I think we should therefore remove the flush_dcache*
functions.

Thanks,
