PATCH v2 1/2 boot/sun20i-d1-spl: new package

U-Boot does not yet have SPL code to initialize the DDR controller on the Allwinner D1 - So instead package the sun20i-d1-spl bootloader, which is based on boot0 from the Allwinner BSP with some modifications to build it separately from the BSP and boot mainline U-Boot as explained on the linux-sunxi wiki:

PATCH v2 2/2 configs/nezha_defconfig: new defconfig

Add a defconfig for the Allwinner Nezha, a raspberrypi-style board built around the RISC-V 64bit D1 SoC.

There is currently no upstream support, so use the git repos from Samuel Holland as explained on the linux-sunxi wiki:

https://linux-sunxi.org/Allwinner_Nezha

The U-Boot DTB is also used by opensbi, but the two branches are unfortunately not in sync at the moment, so add a patch to fix the compatible for the PLIC so opensbi makes it available to S-Mode (Linux).

The use of the sun20i-d1-spl SPL bootloader / TOC1 file format also makes it a bit more complicated to build the boot image. As this is expected to only be a temporary issue, add a U-Boot patch to build the TOC1 image as part of the build rather than adding explicit support in our U-Boot package to do it.

+ match opensbi
+
+The T-HEAD PLIC is by default not accessible from S-mode, and access must be
+enabled by opensbi to make it accessible to Linux.
+
+The DTB is used both by U-Boot and opensbi (but the PLIC node is ignored by
+U-Boot), so change the compatible to match what opensbi expects to fix a
+crash during Linux boot:

+Allwinner Nezha
+===============
+
+Nezha is is a low-cost RISC-V 64-bit based platform, powered by an
+Allwinner D1 SoC.
+
+How to build
+============
+
+$ make nezha_defconfig
+$ make
+
+How to write the SD card
+========================
+
+Once the build process is finished you will have an image called "sdcard.img"
+in the output/images/ directory.
+
+Copy the bootable "sdcard.img" onto an SD card with "dd":
+
+  $ sudo dd if=output/images/sdcard.img of=/dev/sdX
+
+Connect a TTL UART to the debug connector, insert the microSD card and
+plug in a USB-C cable to the PWR connector to boot the system.
