Nice Work !!! This is very helpful.

Currently, it is fine to use HSS (with OpenSBI v0.6 as a library) but
this is not aligned with the existing booting flow of many RISC-V
systems.

It will be nice to have standard U-Boot RISC-V boot-flow working
on Microchip PolarFire SoC:
U-Boot SPL (BIOS) => FW_DYNAMIC (Generic) => U-Boot S-mode

The Microchip HSS is quite convoluted. It has:
1. DDR Init
2. Boot device support
3. SBI support using OpenSBI as library
4. Simple TEE support

I think point 1) and 2) above should be part of U-Boot SPL.
The point 3) can be OpenSBI FW_DYNAMIC.

Lastly,for point 4), we are working on a new OpenSBI feature using
which we can run independent Secure OS and Non-Secure OS using
U-Boot_SPL+OpenSBI (for both SiFive Unleashed and Microchip
PolarFire).

Do you have plans for adding U-Boot SPL support for this board ??
