The CLINT in the T-HEAD 9xx processors do not support 64bit mmio access to
the MTIMER device. The current schema does not allow to specify this.

OpenSBI currently uses a property 'clint,has-no-64bit-mmio' to indicate the
restriction. Samuael Holland suggested in
lib: utils/timer: Use standard property to specify 32-bit I/O
https://github.com/smaeul/opensbi/commit/b95e9cf7cf93b0af16fc89204378bc59ff30008e
to use "reg-io-width = <4>;" as the reg-io-width property is generally used
in the devicetree schema for such a condition.

A release candidate of the ACLINT specification is available at
https://github.com/riscv/riscv-aclint/releases

Add reg-io-width as optional property to the SiFive Core Local Interruptor.
Add a new compatible string "allwinner,sun20i-d1-clint" for the CLINT of
the Allwinner D1 SoC.

Please drop the "reg-io-width" DT property.

Based on discussion on ACLINT MTIMER DT bindings, Rob suggested
using implementation specific compatible string for detecting register IO
width. We should follow the same strategy here as well.

Should we create a completely separated yaml document for "allwinner,sun20i-d1-clint", "thead,clint0"? Or should we integrate all in sifive,clint.yaml?

Best regards
