I tried this branch, and it doesn't boot on my unleashed board.

Here's the boot log when I pass the DT built from your branch via
u-boot: https://termbin.com/rfp3.

I also tried the same thing, but using the DT that's hard-coded into
SBI/u-boot. That doesn't boot fully either[1], but one thing I noted is
that with the DT from the kernel tree, the printk timestamps aren't
moving. Maybe I'm still missing some kconfig options to enable the
right clock and/or IRQ controllers? I'm using this fragment[2] on top of
the default defconfig (arch/riscv/configs/defconfig).

Could you share the defconfig you're using when testing your branch?

Also for reference, I'm able to successfully build/boot the
5.1-rc1-unleashed branch from Atish's tree[3] using that kconfig
fragment[2] (and the hard-coded DT from u-boot/SBI). Full log here[4].

Thanks,

Kevin
