SiFive also produces ARM-based SoCs. Some of those ARM SoCs may use these
IP blocks from sifive-blocks as well. As far as I know, there's nothing
RISC-V-specific about most of these IP blocks. (As an example, there's
nothing CPU architecture-specific about a UART.)

I'm fine with putting these bindings under bindings/riscv/, if that's
where you need them to go. But I'd like to understand the rationale
better - could you describe that?

thanks,
