Could you please provide reason that why U-Boot has to be compiled

This does not match what the config name says. The config name is for
F and it cannot indicate both F and D here.

Cause on AE350 platform, we have two different kinds of toolchain v5d (support I/M/A/C/F/D ISA) and
v5 (support I/M/A/C ISA). If we use the v5d toolchain to build U-Boot it will build fail, so we would like to add F/D extension on U-Boot.

OK, I'll correct it as follows to cover F and D:
config RISCV_ISA_FD
bool "Emit Floating-point instructions"
help
Adds "F" and "D" to the ISA subsets that the toolchain is allowed to emit
when building U-Boot, which results in Single and Double-precision instructions
in the U-Boot binary.

I don't understand. What difference do these two toochains have? Isn't
the v5d toolchain's default -march string be pre-configured to imafd?
But even if the toolchain is pre-configured to generate fd
instruction, I think it can be override by the compiler flags. Can you
please share the details of the toolchain you used? I suspect you have
to fix your toolchain, not U-Boot.

It's seems the ABI issue. Because our toolchain don't support
multilib, the v5d toolchain libraries ABI is ilp64d.
If I use the v5d toolchain to build U-Boot with -mabi=lp64, it will
get link error as below:
...
riscv64-linux-ld.bfd:
/nds64le-linux-glibc-v5d/bin/../lib/gcc/riscv64-linux/7.3.0/libgcc.a(save-restore.o):
can't link double-float modules with soft-float modules
riscv64-linux-ld.bfd: failed to merge target specific data of file
/nds64le-linux-glibc-v5d/bin/../lib/gcc/riscv64-linux/7.3.0/libgcc.a(save-restore.o)
examples/standalone/Makefile:62: recipe for target
'examples/standalone/hello_world' failed
...
so we would like to override the compiler flag mabi to lp64d.

It's seems the ABI issue. Because our toolchain don't support
multilib, the v5d toolchain libraries ABI is ilp64d.
If I use the v5d toolchain to build U-Boot with -mabi=lp64, it will
get link error as below:
...
riscv64-linux-ld.bfd:
/nds64le-linux-glibc-v5d/bin/../lib/gcc/riscv64-linux/7.3.0/libgcc.a(save-restore.o):
can't link double-float modules with soft-float modules
riscv64-linux-ld.bfd: failed to merge target specific data of file
/nds64le-linux-glibc-v5d/bin/../lib/gcc/riscv64-linux/7.3.0/libgcc.a(save-restore.o)
examples/standalone/Makefile:62: recipe for target
'examples/standalone/hello_world' failed
...
so we would like to override the compiler flag mabi to lp64d.

It's seems the ABI issue. Because our toolchain don't support
multilib, the v5d toolchain libraries ABI is ilp64d.
If I use the v5d toolchain to build U-Boot with -mabi=lp64, it will
get link error as below:
...
riscv64-linux-ld.bfd:
/nds64le-linux-glibc-v5d/bin/../lib/gcc/riscv64-linux/7.3.0/libgcc.a(save-restore.o):
can't link double-float modules with soft-float modules
riscv64-linux-ld.bfd: failed to merge target specific data of file
/nds64le-linux-glibc-v5d/bin/../lib/gcc/riscv64-linux/7.3.0/libgcc.a(save-restore.o)
examples/standalone/Makefile:62: recipe for target
'examples/standalone/hello_world' failed
...
so we would like to override the compiler flag mabi to lp64d.

Then please fix your compiler. Passing -mabi=lp64 to compiler is
definitely correct.

No, adding this to U-Boot is a workaround to your compiler.

One of our customer ever used floating point in their project. They want
to calculate something with floating point instructions in u-Boot before
entering kernel.
IMHO, we may consider this case for user to use -mabi=ilp64d.
This CONFIG will be useful for them to compile their codes and linking together
with u-Boot.

This is a new use case. For other architectures like x86, we don't
allow U-Boot to be compiled using hardware float ABI. Why can't they
use software floating point instead?

It's because they'd like to calculate something very quickly. It may just be
done in few cycles with floating point instructions and it will be very useful
for their usages instead of using soft-float.
That's the reason they ask us to provide such kind of CONFIG and we think it
might also be helpful for users who are trying to do some mathematics with
floating point instructions in u-Boot.
Thanks. :)

I will have to leave this to other people to comment. I personally do
not like this to be supported in the upstream U-Boot. However if
others do not object, I am OK too.
