irqchip/sifive-plic: Probe plic driver early for Allwinner D1 platform

The latest Linux RISC-V no longer boots on the Allwinner D1 platform
because the sun4i_timer driver fails to get an interrupt from PLIC due to
the recent conversion of the PLIC to a platform driver. Converting the
sun4i timer to a platform driver does not work either because the D1 does
not have a SBI timer available so early boot hangs. See the 'Closes:'
link for deeper analysis.

The real fix requires enabling the SBI time extension in the platform
firmware (OpenSBI) and convert sun4i_timer into platform driver.
Unfortunately, the real fix involves changing multiple places and can't be
achieved in a short duration and aside of that requires users to update
firmware.

As a work-around, retrofit PLIC probing such that the PLIC is probed early
only for the Allwinner D1 platform and probed as a regular platform driver
for rest of the RISC-V platforms. In the process, partially revert some of
the previous changes because the PLIC device pointer is not available in
all probing paths.
