I originally proposed to match on ultrarisc,cp100-plic under the
assumption that it would be the case.

Furthermore, it is my understanding that if the bug is fixed in, say,
UR-DP1001, then the PLIC node can simply be

    compatible = "ultrarisc,dp1001-plic", "sifive,plic-1.0.0";

I meant my reply that I had assumed this bug was associated with the
UR-CP100 core, but I should have stated so more clearly.
