Even for the JH7100 there are other ways to do this than selects in
arch/riscv - for example
config SIFIVE_CCACHE
default SOC_STARFIVE
But you don't need that either if you're not adding the JH7100 :)

Either works for me :) If you go for "sifive,ccache0", just make sure to
add the correct property enforcement - you can just copy the fu740 by
the looks of things (although that'd imply that it is compatible and can
fall back to it...)
