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.

GlobalFoundries has acquired MIPS [2] and the vendor prefix
for all MIPS RISC-V hardware has been updated to reflect that fact.

All my series so far have used the dts the current one was based on,
with mostly cosmetic changes. Nevertheless, 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. We are planning to upstream these
as well.
