Thank you for your suggestions that made us reach an agreement, let's
continue to review this patch.

The current logic is to implement the common interface under
drivers/firmware/, if we need this function, we can call
fdt_fwtbl_init() to complete it in arch/xxx/kernel/setup.c.

For enabling on RISC-V, we can complete it in a subsequent patch to
setup_arch-->fdt_fwtbl_init() in arch/riscv/kernel/setup.c.

What do you think?

Thanks,
Yunhui
