No, it is not need to  switch modes as far as I know.
Here only provide a check mechanism just like arm to see if loader and
OS are match

But This patch is for bootm flow.
Maybe I still need to check if it is necessary to prepare a patch for
binman flow ?
/arch/riscv/dts/binman.dtsi
arch = "riscv";

maybe provide another binman64.dtsi for arch="riscv64"

Thanks,
Rick
