Okay, just put these in the description in the next version.

The T-HEAD C9xx SoC implements a modified/custom T-HEAD PLIC
specification which will mask current IRQ upon read to CLAIM register
and will unmask the IRQ upon write to CLAIM register. The
thead,c900-plic compatible string represents the custom T-HEAD PLIC
specification.
