Add a callback interface, harts_early_init() to perform proprietary or customized CRSs configuration for each hart. harts_early_init() is placed after stack of harts are initialized and before main boot hart is picked up. Several conditions should be aware of or avoided are listed:
- cannot access gd At the moment, gd hasn't initialized yet.
- all operations in harts_early_init() should only affect core itself For example, the operations for board level should be moved to mach_xxx() or board_init_xxx() functions instead.
- Common resource need protection if multicore Since all harts might enter harts_early_init() in parallel, common resource need a mechanism to handle race condition.
- A reference implementation is added in ./arch/riscv/cpu/cpu.c The implementation is declared with '__weak' and can be overridden.
Changelogs: v6 - revised the description in both of commit message and comment [1/2] - moved the implementation of harts_early_init() in [2/2] from board/sifive/unmatched/spl.c to arch/riscv/cpu/fu740/spl.c. and revised commit message v5 - rename riscv_hart_early_init to harts_early_init - rephrase dummy for harts_early_init() to callback but keep current comments not specific for customizing CSRs only. - Fix nit in [2/2] and add reviewed-by v4 - Revising the comments for riscv_hart_early_init() in [1/2] - Remove unnecessary braces and add reviewed-by in [2/2]
