[PATCH 1/1] riscv: dts: Enable device-tree overlay support for starfive devices

Add the '-@' DTC option for the starfive devices. This option
populates the '__symbols__' node that contains all the necessary symbols
for supporting device-tree overlays (for instance from the firmware or
the bootloader) on these devices.

The starfive devices allow various modules to be connected and this
enables users to create out-of-tree device-tree overlays for these modules.

Please note that this change does increase the size of the resulting DTB
by ~20%. For example, with v6.4 increase in size is as follows:

jh7100-beaglev-starlight.dtb 6192 -> 7339
jh7100-starfive-visionfive-v1.dtb 6281 -> 7428
jh7110-starfive-visionfive-2-v1.2a.dtb 11101 -> 13447
jh7110-starfive-visionfive-2-v1.3b.dtb 11101 -> 13447
