CONFIG_DMA_GLOBAL_POOL and CONFIG_RISCV_NONSTANDARD_CACHE_OPS were
indeed no longer enabled, as they cannot be enabled manually.

After cherry-picking commit e14ad9ff67fd51dc ("riscv: errata: Add
StarFive JH7100 errata") in esmil/visionfive these options become
enabled. Now it gets a bit further, but still lots of CCACHE DataFail
errors.

That series does not contain any Kconfig changes, so there must be
other missing dependencies?

Perhaps I should just defer to Emil ;-)
