It's a relatively large patch, and it'll be nice if you could split it
into several smaller ones, for exampe, one for CPU stuff and one for
board stuff.

This could be moved to arch/riscv/cpu/p8700/Makefile. It seems more
natural to me since arch/riscv/cpu/p8700 contains p8700_platform_setup.S

It'll be nice to sort the files in alphabetical order. Same for headers
included in files below.

It's unclear what the magical instruction does, could you please add a
comment and use a meaningful macro to make it easier to understand?

Is it really necessary to use inline assembly? If GCR_L2_CONFIG is an
MMIO register, readl() should work here.

This instruction also looks confusing: slli usually means left-shift
with an immediate in the context of RISC-V, which obviously doesn't
match the corresponding comment. Could you please provide a macro for
the instruction, and explain it further if possible? This applies also
for the asm statement in invalidate_dcache_range().

We have a weak, general implementation in arch/riscv/cpu.c, thus the
whole file could be dropped.

These instructions miss some space between the two operands.

Here miss some space between the two operands of the li instructions.

Why choose this specific address? If possible please use a macro instead
(I noticed it's actually CONFIG_SYS_LOAD_ADDR).

Is it necessary to call these initialization rountines so early that
even harts_early_init() doesn't work? It really doesn't look clean
especially IIRC there's no platform-specific code in
arch/riscv/cpu/start.S.

riscv,isa is already deprecated in devicetree-binding upstream, it'll
be nice if you could provide a riscv,isa-extensions property as well.

These properties should be sorted, compatible goes first, then reg, and
status should be the last property[1]. This should apply for other nodes
as well.
