[PATCH v2 0/6] spacemit: k3: Replace bad CLINT node with ACLINT nodes

[Junhui Liu]

When testing OpenSBI with the upstream Device Tree, the CLINT controller
failed to function properly with the irqchip.riscv_imsic_noipi boot
parameter:

  Platform IPI Device         : aclint-mswi
  Platform Timer Device       : aclint-mtimer @ 24000000Hz
  
  Domain0 Region03            : 0x00000000e081c000-0x00000000e081ffff M: (I,R,W) S/U: ()

Through exploring and testing, I discovered that the K3 actually
provides all three complete ACLINT components, and subsequent
confirmation with the vendor yielded the following information:

The ACLINT controllers are mapped to two physical memory regions:
secure (0xf1810000-0xf1820000) and non-secure (0xe0810000-0xe0820000),
with varying accessibility per controller and execution mode:

+---------+--------+------------------------+-----------------------+
| Offset  | Module | Secure Region          | Non-Secure Region     |
+---------+--------+------------------------+-----------------------+
| +0x0000 | MSWI   | 0xf1810000-0xf1813fff  | 0xe0810000-0xe0813fff |
|         |        | (M-mode only)          | (Inaccessible)        |
+---------+--------+------------------------+-----------------------+
| +0x4000 | MTIMER | 0xf1814000-0xf181bfff  | 0xe0814000-0xe081bfff |
|         |        | (M-mode only)          | (Inaccessible)        |
+---------+--------+------------------------+-----------------------+
| +0xc000 | SSWI   | 0xf181c000-0xf181ffff  | 0xe081c000-0xe081ffff |
|         |        | (M-mode only if efused)| (M/S-mode Accessible) |
+---------+--------+------------------------+-----------------------+

Taking these constraints into account, we choose the secure region
(0xf1810000-0xf181bfff) for the M-mode ACLINT components (MSWI and
MTIMER), and the non-secure region (0xe081c000-0xe081ffff) for the
S-mode SSWI component.

Changes in v2:
- Drop the generic riscv,aclint-* fallback compatibles and use only
  SpacemiT K3-specific compatibles.
- Match spacemit,k3-aclint-sswi directly in the SSWI driver.
- Squash the ACLINT MSWI and MTIMER DT additions into the patch that
  replaces the incorrect CLINT node.
- Link to v1: https://patch.msgid.link/20260729-k3-aclint-v1-0-aef88614d3a5@pigmoral.tech
