This is an incomplete description about how T-HEAD PLIC is different from
RISC-V PLIC.

I would suggest the following:

The T-HEAD C9xx SoC implements a modified/custom T-HEAD PLIC specification
which will mask current IRQ upon read to CLAIM register and will unmask the IRQ
upon write to CLAIM register. The thead,c900-plic compatible string
represents the
custom T-HEAD PLIC specification.
