The MIPS P8700 is a multi-core RISC-V microprocessor system, supporting
both single-cluster and multi-cluster configurations. [1]
This series adds full description of the platform,
including the Boston FPGA board configured with a P8700 bitfile.

The P8700 cores support the RV64GCZba_Zbb (G = IMAFD) Standard ISA,
with a caveat: the A extension is only partially supported, and all ZAAMO
extension instructions are emulated on the SBI level. The device tree
intentionally does not reflect this fact. Vladimir Kondratiev's series
improves performance by directly substituting AMO instructions with LR/SC. [4]
The two patchsets do not depend on one another.

The board itself is the same board as 'img,boston', configured with a different
bitfile [3]. The Boston board has been supported since commit 6e62a888029b
("MIPS: generic: Support MIPS Boston development boards") (thanks to Maciej for finding the ref).

GlobalFoundries has acquired MIPS [2] and the vendor prefix
for all newly added MIPS RISC-V hardware reflects that fact.

I tested this series both on QEMU and a Boston board
configured with a single P8700 CPU,
after applying the necessary U-Boot and OpenSBI changes
to match the 'compatible' strings and the changed MTIMER register order.
We are planning to upstream these as well.

Changes in v2:
- Patch 1: Replace "MIPS Technology" with "MIPS Technologies".
- Patch 3: Name the FPGA used and add the versioned bitfile compatible.
- Patch 5: Drop hart indexes from MSWI.
- Patch 6: Swap mtimecmp and mtime, require reg-names both for mtime and mtimecmp on P8700.
- Original patch 7: Dropped.
- Patch 7 (previously 8): Remove additional harts that are not
  present in the bitfile I have. Reflect changes made in patches 3, 5 and 6.
  Remove riscv,cbom-block-size. Drop undocumented compatibles. Other minor changes.
