Subject: [PATCH v6 02/17] dt-bindings: riscv: cpus: add a vlen register
 length property

From: Conor Dooley <conor.dooley@...rochip.com>

Add a property analogous to the vlenb CSR so that software can detect
the vector length of each CPU prior to it being brought online.
Currently software has to assume that the vector length read from the
boot CPU applies to all possible CPUs. On T-Head CPUs implementing
pre-ratification vector, reading the th.vlenb CSR may produce an illegal
instruction trap, so this property is required on such systems.
