Aha. I don't think is there anyone will try a build with MMU on
K210. It only has 6MB of memory available to the CPU. For rv64 if
the S-Mode software starts at 2MB, it will only have 4MB for S-Mode
Linux. It's hard to trim the kernel and fit in 4MB and even preserve
some memory for userspace.

I also tried to make nommu_k210_defconfig on gcc 13.2.0, it produced a
1.6M kernel in arch/riscv/boot/Image. But if I use nconfig to set
CONFIG_MMU=y and rebuild, the kernel file will increase to 11M.

Seems like an idea if we want this consideration. But I don't think we need
this as the opinions shown above.

If it should be, I think SOC_CANAAN should be renamed to SOC_K210 or
SOC_CANAAN_K210.
