Add a callback interface, riscv_hart_early_init() to perform riscv CPU
hart-dependent configuration for each hart. riscv_hart_early_init() is
placed after stack of harts are initialized and before main boot hart is
picked up. Several conditions should be aware of or avoided are listed:
- cannot access gd
At the moment, gd hasn't initialized yet.
- all operations in riscv_hart_early_init() should only affect core itself
For example, the operations for board level should be moved to mach_xxx()
or board_init_xxx() functions instead.
- Common resource need protection if multicore
Since all harts might enter riscv_hart_early_init() in parallel, common
resource need a mechanism to handle race condition.
- A dummy implementation is added in ./arch/riscv/cpu/cpu.c
The implementation is declared with '__weak' and can be overridden.
Changelogs:
v4
- Revising the comments for riscv_hart_early_init() in [1/2]
- Remove unnecessary braces and add reviewed-by in [2/2]
