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.
Changes in v2: - change the order from Patch 3/7 in V1 to Patch 1/7 in V2 - merge the OPENSBI_OS_BOOT related logic into binman.dtsi - change by suggestions - add a new patch to delete the output file when make clean.
