Totally agree it is related to the CPU core and not the SoC. During
the BoF session it was agreed that unratified extensions code shouldnt
go under the arch/riscv. Since the code has vendor specific SBI calls
RISC-V maintainers asked to move it SoC specific so that maintenance
of the code falls under SoC vendors.
