In picobello we have the issue that the clusters use a multicast capable AXI xbar that have additional fields in the
xbar_cfg_t. We don't actually want to use a multicast capable AXI xbar in Cheshire, but since we cannot have two separateaxidependencies in a project, our workaround was to assigndefault: '0to unknown struct fields, which should be compatible with the vanilla AXI xbarThere is a PR open to merge the multicast capable AXI xbar pulp-platform/axi#398, but it is unlikely to make progress anytime soon, since it is a major change and also probably not entirely AXI compliant. Hence, this change would allow us to again track the main branch of cheshire and make it easier to stay up to date new developments (e.g. the SystemRDL ones #253 #252).
It's not the best solution and if you disagree with this change, we will keep a
picobellobranch on cheshire and I will close this PR again.
