[RFC,v1,00/10] RISC-V ACLINT Support

Message

Most of the existing RISC-V platforms use SiFive CLINT to provide M-level
timer and IPI support whereas S-level uses SBI calls for timer and IPI
support. Also, the SiFive CLINT device is a single device providing both
timer and IPI functionality so RISC-V platforms can't partially implement
SiFive CLINT device and provide alternate mechanism for timer and IPI.

The RISC-V Advacned Core Local Interruptor (ACLINT) tries to address the
limitations of SiFive CLINT by:
1) Taking modular approach and defining timer and IPI functionality as
   separate devices so that RISC-V platforms can include only required
   devices
2) Providing dedicated MMIO device for S-level IPIs so that SBI calls
   can be avoided for IPIs in Linux RISC-V
3) Allowing multiple instances of timer and IPI devices for a
   multi-socket (or multi-die) NUMA systems
4) Being backward compatible to SiFive CLINT so that existing RISC-V
   platforms stay compliant with RISC-V ACLINT specification

Latest RISC-V ACLINT specification (will be frozen in a month) can be
found at:
https://github.com/riscv/riscv-aclint/blob/main/riscv-aclint.adoc

This series adds RISC-V ACLINT support and can be found in riscv_aclint_v1
branch at:
https://github.com/avpatel/linux

To test this series, the RISC-V ACLINT support for QEMU and OpenSBI
can be found in the riscv_aclint_v1 branch at:
https://github.com/avpatel/qemu
https://github.com/avpatel/opensbi

Anup Patel (10):
  RISC-V: Clear SIP bit only when using SBI IPI operations
  RISC-V: Use common print prefix in smp.c
  RISC-V: Allow more details in IPI operations
  RISC-V: Use IPIs for remote TLB flush when possible
  irqchip: Add ACLINT software interrupt driver
  RISC-V: Select ACLINT SWI driver for virt machine
  clocksource: clint: Add support for ACLINT MTIMER device
  dt-bindings: timer: Add ACLINT MTIMER bindings
  dt-bindings: timer: Add ACLINT MSWI and SSWI bindings
  MAINTAINERS: Add entry for RISC-V ACLINT drivers
