From version 2.38, binutils default to ISA spec version 20191213. This
means that the csr read/write (csrr*/csrw*) instructions and fence.i
instruction has separated from the `I` extension, become two standalone
extensions: Zicsr and Zifencei.

The fix is to specify those extensions explicitly in -march. However as
older binutils version do not support this, we first need to detect
that.

Fixes
arch/riscv/lib/cache.c: Assembler messages:
arch/riscv/lib/cache.c:12: Error: unrecognized opcode `fence.i'

Thanks for sending the patch.

As Alexandre has already sent out a patch to solve this problem first,
(https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/uboot/patch/20220128134713.2322800-1-alexandre.ghiti@canonical.com/)
we'd go with this patch and we welcome your future patches to improve RISC-V U-Boot.

Best regards,
Leo
