Does this need to have the if MMU? I thought it only needed the
!XIP_KERNEL since the PMU errata does not depend on MMU.

Or have a missed some patch elsewhere that'll change that?

This is v6.3 material right? One of the things that should be going for
v6.3 is all of these select SIFIVE_PLICs. Palmer suggested putting up an
immutable branch for any of that cleanup that intersects with new
platforms, so I'll probably send one out at some stage.

Thanks,
Conor.
