[RFC PATCH 3/3] riscv: Add riscv.fwsz kernel parameter

From: guoren
Date: Mon Nov 22 2021 - 20:57:49 EST


From: Guo Ren <guoren@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The firmware of riscv (such as opensbi) occupy 2MB(64bit) /
4MB(32bit) in Linux. It's very wasteful to small memory footprint
soc chip such as Allwinner D1s/F133. The kernel parameter gives a
chance to users to set the proper size of the firmware and get
more than 1.5MB of memory.
