An issue was found on the HiFive Unmatched with the 5.19-rc1 kernel. The 
following warning occurs during boot:

riscv64 kernel: 
----------------------------------------------------------------
riscv64 kernel: WARNING: Missing the following errata may cause 
potential issues
riscv64 kernel:         SiFive Errata[0]:cip-453
riscv64 kernel:         SiFive Errata[1]:cip-1200
riscv64 kernel: Please enable the corresponding Kconfig to apply them
riscv64 kernel: 
----------------------------------------------------------------

I've manually bisected the problem to this commit:
