Cause on AE350 platform, we have two different kinds of toolchain v5d (support I/M/A/C/F/D ISA) and v5 (support I/M/A/C ISA). If we use the v5d toolchain to build U-Boot it will build fail, so we would like to add F/D extension on U-Boot.

I don't understand. What difference do these two toochains have? Isn't the v5d toolchain's default -march string be pre-configured to imafd? But even if the toolchain is pre-configured to generate fd instruction, I think it can be override by the compiler flags. Can you please share the details of the toolchain you used? I suspect you have to fix your toolchain, not U-Boot.

It's seems the ABI issue. Because our toolchain don't support multilib, the v5d toolchain libraries ABI is ilp64d. If I use the v5d toolchain to build U-Boot with -mabi=lp64, it will get link error as below: ... riscv64-linux-ld.bfd: /nds64le-linux-glibc-v5d/bin/../lib/gcc/riscv64-linux/7.3.0/libgcc.a(save-restore.o): can't link double-float modules with soft-float modules riscv64-linux-ld.bfd: failed to merge target specific data of file /nds64le-linux-glibc-v5d/bin/../lib/gcc/riscv64-linux/7.3.0/libgcc.a(save-restore.o) examples/standalone/Makefile:62: recipe for target 'examples/standalone/hello_world' failed ...
so we would like to override the compiler flag mabi to lp64d.

Could you please provide reason that why U-Boot has to be compiled using F/D extension?
Cause on AE350 platform, we have two different kinds of toolchain v5d (support I/M/A/C/F/D ISA) and v5 (support I/M/A/C ISA). If we use the v5d toolchain to build U-Boot it will build fail, so we would like to add F/D extension on U-Boot.
I don't understand. What difference do these two toochains have? Isn't the v5d toolchain's default -march string be pre-configured to imafd? But even if the toolchain is pre-configured to generate fd instruction, I think it can be override by the compiler flags. Can you please share the details of the toolchain you used? I suspect you have to fix your toolchain, not U-Boot.
It's seems the ABI issue. Because our toolchain don't support multilib, the v5d toolchain libraries ABI is ilp64d. If I use the v5d toolchain to build U-Boot with -mabi=lp64, it will get link error as below:
Then please fix your compiler. Passing -mabi=lp64 to compiler is definitely correct.
... riscv64-linux-ld.bfd: /nds64le-linux-glibc-v5d/bin/../lib/gcc/riscv64-linux/7.3.0/libgcc.a(save-restore.o): can't link double-float modules with soft-float modules riscv64-linux-ld.bfd: failed to merge target specific data of file /nds64le-linux-glibc-v5d/bin/../lib/gcc/riscv64-linux/7.3.0/libgcc.a(save-restore.o) examples/standalone/Makefile:62: recipe for target 'examples/standalone/hello_world' failed ...
so we would like to override the compiler flag mabi to lp64d.
No, adding this to U-Boot is a workaround to your compiler.

One of our customer ever used floating point in their project. They want to calculate something with floating point instructions in u-Boot before entering kernel.
IMHO, we may consider this case for user to use -mabi=ilp64d. This CONFIG will be useful for them to compile their codes and linking together with u-Boot.

It's because they'd like to calculate something very quickly. It may just be done in few cycles with floating point instructions and it will be very useful for their usages instead of using soft-float.
That's the reason they ask us to provide such kind of CONFIG and we think it might also be helpful for users who are trying to do some mathematics with floating point instructions in u-Boot.
Thanks. :)

I will have to leave this to other people to comment. I personally do not like this to be supported in the upstream U-Boot. However if others do not object, I am OK too.
