[RFC PATCH 0/3] dt-bindings: riscv: Add RISC-V Worlds and SiFive WorldGuard DT bindings

Add device tree bindings for RISC-V Worlds, a standard extension that tags
every transaction with a World ID for fine-grained isolation. SiFive's
WorldGuard Checker is a hardware firewall in the system interconnect that
inspects transaction WIDs and enforces per-World access policies on memory
and MMIO devices.

The three patches add: Worlds ISA extension properties (riscv,nworlds and
sifive,trustedwid on /cpus), per-hart World ID constraints (riscv,pmwid,
riscv,pmwidlist, riscv,pmlwidlist on cpu at X nodes), and the wgchecker2
binding with access-controller specifiers.

The access-controllers specifier carries range, permission and config fields
to support three use cases: 
1. single range device protection
2. discontiguous range device protection
3. sub-range memory partitioning.
