Subject: [PATCH] riscv: fix multi-letter extension compare

From: Nikita Shubin <n.shubin@...ro.com>

Increment ext pointer to match letters after 'z' character, so it points
to actual extension name.

Hello Atish,

Sorry to blame you, but i double checked this and i don't see a way 
how extensions from device tree could be successfully matched with 
encoded ones without incrementing the ext pointer or prepending 
the encoded extensions with 'z' letter.

I have no idea how this could slip through review - am i missing something ?
