[Buildroot] [PATCH v4 3/5] boot/opensbi: Initial commit of OpenSBI for RISC-V

[Thomas Petazzoni]

Hello,

I was about to apply this patch, but there is still an issue (see
below). Since a new iteration will be needed, I'll point out some minor
nits as well that I would have normally fixed myself when applying, but
that you can fix together with the more significant issue.

First minor nit: the commit title should be "boot/opensbi: new package"

So the issue that I have is that this package doesn't install anything
when OPENSBI_PLAT is empty. It doesn't install any image, it doesn't
install any library to STAGING_DIR.

Should the libplatsbi.a library be installed in
$(STAGING_DIR)/usr/lib ? This location is normally for regular Linux
user-space libraries, which I suppose libplatsbi.a is not. Perhaps it
should be in another location ?

In any case, it should be installed somewhere, otherwise the package is
pretty meaningless when OPENSBI_PLAT is empty.

Thanks!

Thomas
