Dino Li c35fad0f2b chip: it83xx: add support for floating point unit
Because N8 CPU doesn't have floating point unit,
so we implement an extra floating point engine
(single-precision addition, subtraction, multiplication,
and division) into it8320 to improve performance of
floating point operation.

To make CPU's instruction compatible, we use register (DLMB)
to switch ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit). eg:
Instruction 'ADD45' adds the contents of two registers then
writes the result to the source register.
But if we switch ALU to floating point operation mode,
this instruction will do a floating-point addition instead.

For the other FPU that we don't support as far,
we have to use soft float library routines of nds32.

BRANCH=none
BUG=none
TEST=add the following console command and test different
scenarios by changing variable a and b.

#define PRINTF_FLOAT(x)  ((int)((x) * 1000.0f))
static int it83xx_fpu_test(int argc, char **argv)
{
	volatile float a = 1.23f;
	volatile float b = 4.56f;
	volatile float c;

	c = a + b;
	ccprintf("__addsf3: (%d)\n", PRINTF_FLOAT(c));
	c = a - b;
	ccprintf("__subsf3: (%d)\n", PRINTF_FLOAT(c));
	c = a * b;
	ccprintf("__mulsf3: (%d)\n", PRINTF_FLOAT(c));
	c = a / b;
	ccprintf("__divsf3: (%d)\n", PRINTF_FLOAT(c));

	return EC_SUCCESS;
}
DECLARE_CONSOLE_COMMAND(fpu, it83xx_fpu_test, "", "");
