Thanks, I think that fixes the issue with CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=n. I had
the same kernel crash [1] when trying the config from Xi [2].

I just did 'b4 shazam 20230716001506.3506041-1-guoren@xxxxxxxxxx' and
the riscv_intc_irq panic no longer occurs [3]. I don't have the mmc
patches applied on this branch so the boot just hangs at mounting rootfs
but I think it is otherwise okay.
