riscv: Add AST2700 SoC initial platform support

AST2700 SoCs integrates a Ibex 32-bits RISC-V core as the boot MCU
for the first stage bootloader execution, namely SPL.

This patch implements the preliminary base to successfully run SPL
on this RV32-based MCU to the console banner message.

+IBex AST2700
+============
+
+AST2700 integrates an IBex RISC-V 32-bits CPU as the boot MCU to execute the
+first stage bootlaoder, namely SPL.
+
+Build
+-----
+
+1. Prepare the toolchains and make sure the $PATH to toolchains is correct.
+2. Use `make ibex-ast2700_defconfig` in u-boot root to build the image
+
+Running U-Boot SPL
+------------------
+
+The U-Boot SPL will boot in M mode and load the FIT image which includes
+the 2nd stage bootloaders executed by the main processor Cortex-A35.
+
+
+Burn U-Boot to SPI Flash
+------------------------
+
+Use SPI flash programmer (e.g. SF100) to program the u-book-spl.bin with the
+offset 0x80 bytes to the SPI flash beginning.
