This patch series adds support to access CSR using both CSR name and
CSR numbers.

Also, we should prefer accessing CSRs using their CSR numbers because:
1. It compiles fine with older toolchains.
2. We can use latest CSR names in #define macro names of CSR numbers
   as-per RISC-V spec. (e.g. sptbr => CSR_SATP, sbadaddr => CSR_STVAL, etc.)
3. We can access newly added CSRs even if toolchain does not recognize
   newly addes CSRs by name. (e.g. BSSTATUS, BSIE, SSIP, etc.)

The patchset can be found in riscv_csr_number_v1 branch of
https//github.com/avpatel/linux.git
