OK.

Actually there are many versions of CLIC in my branch as different
devices. But it is better to use CLIC type for the upstream version.

Hi Alistair and Zhiwei,

Replacing void *clic with RISCVCLICState *clic may create a circular loop

because CPURISCVState is also referenced in riscv_clic.h.

As there is only one reference to CPURISCVState,  it is not difficult to get rid of it.

However, I would like to ask what is the best approach to add

the reference of CLIC device in CPURISCVState struct?

There may be different kinds of CLIC devices.

AFAK, there was another RFC patchset trying to add void *eclic

for Nuclei processor into CPURISCVState struct:

https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/qemu-devel/patch/20210507081654.11056-2-wangjunqiang@iscas.ac.cn/

Is it okay to add the device reference directly into CPURISCVState struct like that,

or we should create some abstraction for these CLIC devices?

(However, I'm not sure how big the differences are for these CLIC devices...)

In my opinion, we should be very cautious to include this kind of code,  although I suffer from it too.

We should only support the features defined in the specification. If some feature are neither defined
by the specification, nor  under the customized range specified by the specification,
we should review the code and exclude it from the mainline.

The standard implementation of an old, ratified  as drafted specification can be allowed in the mainline.
If a new specification comes,  and the old implementation can carefully avoid  the conflicting , it can still in
the mainline.  Otherwise, the old implementation should be obsoleted.

Thanks,
Zhiwei

I didn't notice it.   Fix it in next version.

Thanks.
