[PATCH 0/5] riscv: improve nommu and timer-clint

[Jisheng Zhang <jszhang@kernel.org>]

As is known, the sophgo CV1800B contains so called little core, which
is C906 w/o MMU, so I want to run nommu linux on it. This series is
the result of the bring up. After this series, w/ proper dts, we can
run nommu linux on milkv duo's little core.

First of all, patch1 removes the PAGE_OFFSET hardcoding by introducing
DRAM_BASE Kconfig option.

The following patches try to improve the get_cycles and timer-clint
by always using TIME CSR, because Per the riscv privileged spec,
"The time CSR is a read-only shadow of the memory-mapped mtime
register", "On RV32I the timeh CSR is a read-only shadow of the upper
32 bits of the memory-mapped mtime register, while time shadows only 
the lower 32 bits of mtime.".

The last patch adds T-Head C9xxx clint support to timer-clint driver.

Jisheng Zhang (5):
  riscv: nommu: remove PAGE_OFFSET hardcoding
  riscv: nommu: use CSR_TIME* for get_cycles* implementation
  clocksource/drivers/timer-clint: Remove clint_time_val
  clocksource/drivers/timer-clint: Use get_cycles()
  clocksource/drivers/timer-clint: Add T-Head C9xx clint support
