riscv: Allow device trees to be built into the kernel
Some systems don't provide a useful device tree to the kernel on boot.
Chasing around bootloaders for these systems is a headache, so instead
le't's just keep a device tree table in the kernel, keyed by the SOC's
unique identifier, that contains the relevant DTB.

This is only implemented for M mode right now. While we could implement
this via the SBI calls that allow access to these identifiers, we don't
have any systems that need this right now.

riscv: Add SOC early init support
Add a mechanism for early SoC initialization for platforms that need
additional hardware initialization not possible through the regular
device tree and drivers mechanism. With this, a SoC specific
initialization function can be called very early, before DTB parsing
is done by parse_dtb() in Linux RISC-V kernel setup code.

This can be very useful for early hardware initialization for No-MMU
kernels booted directly in M-mode because it is quite likely that no
other booting stage exist prior to the No-MMU kernel.

Example use of a SoC early initialization is as follows:

static void vendor_abc_early_init(const void *fdt)
{
	/*
	 * some early init code here that can use simple matches
	 * against the flat device tree file.
	 */
}
SOC_EARLY_INIT_DECLARE("vendor,abc", abc_early_init);

This early initialization function is executed only if the flat device
tree for the board has a 'compatible = "vendor,abc"' entry;
