[PATCH RESEND 0/7] riscv: spl: OpenSBI OS boot mode

Introduce a shortcut boot mode for RISC-V. 

As we know, in ARM architecture has the Falcon mode to do the shortcut
boot to the Linux kernel. (by enabling CONFIG_SPL_OS_BOOT)
ARM Falcon mode boot flow would be as follows:
u-boot SPL -> Linux kernel

But for RISC-V, OpenSBI is required to allows the supervisor to execute
some privileged operations.
The RISC-V Normal boot flow as follows:
u-boot SPL -> OpenSBI -> u-boot proper -> Linux kernel

Quoting the same ideas as ARM's Falcon mode,
OpenSBI OS boot flow as follows:
u-boot SPL -> OpenSBI -> Linux kernel

An important part of OpenSBI OS boot mode is to prepare the device tree. 
A normal U-Boot does FDT fixups when booting Linux. 
For OpenSBI OS boot mode, Linux boots directly from SPL, 
skipping the normal U-Boot. 
The device tree has to be prepared in advance.
The device tree in memory is the one needed for OpenSBI OS boot mode.

The Linux kernel image will also need to be provided for the generation
of the FIT file.
