[PULL 29/30] hw/riscv/virt.c: re-insert and deprecate 'riscv, delegate'

[Alistair Francis]

From: Daniel Henrique Barboza <dbarboza@ventanamicro.com>

Commit b1f1e9dcfa renamed 'riscv,delegate' to 'riscv,delegation' since
it is the correct name as per dt-bindings, and the absence of the
correct name will result in validation fails when dumping the dtb and
using dt-validate.

But this change has a side-effect: every other firmware available that
is AIA capable is using 'riscv,delegate', and it will fault/misbehave if
this property isn't present. The property was added back in QEMU 7.0,
meaning we have 2 years of firmware development using the wrong
property.

Re-introducing 'riscv,delegate' while keeping 'riscv,delegation' allows
older firmwares to keep booting with the 'virt' machine.
'riscv,delegate' is then marked for future deprecation with its use
being discouraged from now on.

+RISC-V "virt" board "riscv,delegate" DT property (since 9.1)
+''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
+
+The "riscv,delegate" DT property was added in QEMU 7.0 as part of
+the AIA APLIC support.  The property changed name during the review
+process in Linux and the correct name ended up being
+"riscv,delegation".  Changing the DT property name will break all
+available firmwares that are using the current (wrong) name.  The
+property is kept as is in 9.1, together with "riscv,delegation", to
+give more time for firmware developers to change their code.
