[U-Boot] [PATCH v4 00/28] General fixes / cleanup for RISC-V and improvements to qemu-riscv

This patch series includes general fixes and cleanup for RISC-V. It also
adds support for booting Linux on qemu-riscv. At the moment, only
single-core systems are supported. Support for multi-core systems will
be added with a future patch series.

To boot Linux on qemu-riscv, Linux must be compiled into BBL as a
payload. BBL must be included in a FIT image and supplied to QEMU with
the -kernel parameter. Its location in memory is embedded in the device
tree, which QEMU passes to u-boot.
To test this, QEMU and riscv-pk (BBL) must be modified. QEMU is modified
to add support for loading binary files (FIT images in this case) in
addition to ELF files. riscv-pk must be modified to adjust the link
address. A pull request for QEMU, which implements this, is available at
[1]. A modified version of riscv-pk is available at [2].

Changes in v4:
- Rebase on u-boot/master

Changes in v3:
- New patch to add VirtIO distro boot command
- New patch to enable distro boot on qemu-riscv32/64
- Adapt code and commit message to distro boot
- Replace printf with debug
- Clarify debug messages if no chosen node is found

Changes in v2:
- Replace the description of RISCV_ISA_C with that of the Linux kernel,
as suggested by Bin Meng
- Change ISA string construction, as suggested by Bin Meng
- Remove 0-padding in the format string to avoid printing 16 digits on
RV32I systems
- New patch to replace patch "riscv: remove CONFIG_INIT_CRITICAL"
- Drop removal of code that stores the contents of a2; this broke the
board ax25-ae350. The code will be removed again in a future patch.
- Rebase onto u-boot-dm/next
- Rebase onto u-boot-dm/next
- Move prototype location to match the location of the function in
ofnode.c
- Rebase onto u-boot-dm/next
- Boot Linux with the device tree provided by the prior boot stage
- New patch
