Query on RISC-V booting ABI

[Ivan Velickovic]

Hello everyone,

My understanding of the general RISC-V bootflow ABI is that each boot stage provides the hart ID and DTB
in a0 and a1 respectively. From [1] I can see that U-Boot also adheres to that.

For my use-case, I am typically booting my OS/application with U-Boot via the `go` or `bootelf` commands.
I believe that currently these methods do not adhere to this ABI, and I’m wondering if someone could clarify
whether that is a mistake or intentional?

I can see that for `bootm` for Linux images for example, the ABI is preserved [2].

Thank you,
Ivan
