I don't believe there is, but the patches from Chih-Mao Chen for RISC-V support seemed well structured to me, so may be useful to learn
from:
* https://reviews.llvm.org/D39322
* https://reviews.llvm.org/D39323
* https://reviews.llvm.org/D39324

As a side note: if any LLD devs have time to review these patches, it would be hugely appreciated.

Best,

Alex
