[U-Boot] [PATCH v4 1/5] riscv: Introduce CONFIG_XIP to support booting from flash

Andes uboot at andestech.com

From: Rick Chen <rick at andestech.com>

When U-Boot boots from flash, during the boot process,
hart_lottery and available_harts_lock variable addresses
point to flash which is not writable. This causes boot
failures on AE350. Introduce a config option CONFIG_XIP
to support such configuration.
