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;

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
