[Bug 1937277] [NEW] [SRU] OpenSBI 0.9 backport to Focal

[Heinrich Schuchardt]

Public bug reported:

OpenSBI 0.9 backport to Focal

[Impact]
* OpenSBI is used to create RISC-V images for various boards and to boot RISC-V virtual machines.
 * Our current 0.8 release lacks a patch for CPU erratum CIP-1200 described in Errata_FU740-C000_20210205 from https://www.sifive.com/boards/hifive-unmatched
 * Bugs in OpenSBI that may lead to crashes have been resolved in v0.9.

[Test Case]

 * Build U-Boot with new OpenSBI version and boot Focal images with this
U-Boot installed.

[Where problems could occur]

 * Parts of the OpenSBI code where restructured, new SBI extensions were
added. Bugs in the modified code might lead to failure to boot, reboot,
poweroff or might lead to crashes.

[Other Info]

Here are the release notes for OpenSBI Version 0.9:

This release has:

Lots of fixes and improvements
Optimized trap handler for both RV32 and RV64
Domain support for system-level partitioning
Device tree based domain configuration
