Coreboot Improvements For FU540 Land Following SiFive's Open-Source Boot Code

The code open-sourced last week by SiFive allows for a fully open-source boot process after this first RISC-V developer board received some criticism for some of its initialization code being closed-source, namely around the SDRAM start-up code.
