If we have multiple weak implementations of functions, the linker might

Aren't we supposed to add a single __weak function so the linker can
replace it? IOW why is the declaration for Arm/riscv a weak one?

Some sub-architectures override the architecture specific weak implementation, e.g.

arch/riscv/cpu/andes/cache.c:44:
void flush_dcache_all(void)

arch/arm/cpu/arm926ejs/cache.c:17:
void flush_dcache_all(void)
