Hi Masahiro and Björn.

I like this approach. But I think it doesn't quite do the same when fx.
CONFIG_RISCV_M_MODE=n but CONFIG_ARCH_CANAAN=y which I think is a valid
configuration for the new Kendryte K230 support. In this case boot-image-y
would be overwritten with the loader.bin value even for S-mode kernels.

To keep the previous behaviour we'd need something like

  boot-image-$(CONFIG_RISCV_M_MODE *and* CONFIG_ARCH_CANAAN) := loader.bin

Maybe just

  ifeq ($(CONFIG_RISCV_M_MODE),y)
  boot-image-$(CONFIG_ARCH_CANAAN) := loader.bin
  endif

Do you guys have a better solution?

Oh, you're right. I'll rebase on that for v2, thanks.
