[PATCH 0/5] Convert Lichee Pi 4A to use S-Mode proper U-Boot

RISC-V software usually expects that HARTs are running under S mode when
leaving the firmware, for example, the UEFI specification explicitly
states requirements for S mode.
This series separates M-mode-only code for TH1520 port out, and
configures binman to pack the OpenSBI firmware to initialize the S-mode
environment. Then S-mode proper U-Boot is enabled on our Lichee Pi 4A
port.
Note that booting on Lichee Pi 4A is broken between PATCH 3 and 4,
affecting bisectability. Considering TH1520 port is still in an early
stage and separating the changes make the commit cleaner, I personally
consider it's acceptable.
