The "riscv,delegate" DT property was added in QEMU 7.0 as part of the AIA APLIC support. The property changed name during the review process in Linux and the correct name ended up being "riscv,delegation". The incorrect name was added as alias, and deprecated in v9.1 (commit 38facfa8432), so can be removed for v11.0.
