The thead,c900-plic has been used in opensbi to distinguish
PLIC [1]. Although PLICs have the same behaviors in Linux,
they are different hardware with some custom initializing in
firmware(opensbi).
Qute opensbi patch commit-msg by Samuel:
The T-HEAD PLIC implementation requires setting a delegation bit
to allow access from S-mode. Now that the T-HEAD PLIC has its own
compatible string, set this bit automatically from the PLIC driver,
instead of reaching into the PLIC's MMIO space from another driver.
