Likewise. The new ordering of the interrupts to what the driver expects
looks correct - as far as it goes. However, I'm not convinced enabling
the SiFive l2 cache driver out of the box makes sense. Using l2 cache
driver doesn't align terribly well with the current MPFS roadmap for
mgt of ECC errors.

If l2-cache controller is enabled, then interrupts should be connected
as per TRM. I think this specific patch lgtm, ideally with a
'disabled' stanza and it's up to individual MPFS customers/boards to
enable l2 cache controller if they want it.
