Thanks for the review.

Okay, I'll change.

Ack.

The goal for upstreaming this minimal device tree is to make it possible
to boot mainline kernel builds. I attended the KernelCI workshop after
ELC-EU and learned there are not many RISC-V boards doing boot tests. We
already have Blackhole cards in servers that could be used for CI, so my
goal is to enable mainline to boot on Blackhole.

I had an explanation about the serial console in the cover letter but
I'll change the commit message in this patch for the next rev:

-------------------------------------------------
From: Drew Fustini <dfustini at oss.tenstorrent.com>

Add device tree source describing the Tenstorrent Blackhole SoC and the
Blackhole P100 and P150 PCIe cards. There are no differences between
the P100 and P150 cards from the perspective of an OS kernel like Linux
running on the X280 cores.

There is a virtual UART implemented in OpenSBI firmware that allows a
console program on the PCIe host to communicate through shared memory
with Linux running on the Blackhole card. CONFIG_HVC_RISCV_SBI needs to
be enabled. The boot script on the host adds 'console=hvc0' so that the
full boot output appears in the console program on the host.
