Subject: Re: [PATCH 1/2] riscv: allow case-insensitive ISA string parsing
(+CC Drew)
Hey Yangyu,
One meta-level comment - can you submit this patch + my dt-bindings
patch as a v2?
Some comments below.

Please remove the above and cite ACPI's case-insensitivity as the
rationale for this change.

I don't understand why this is even here in the first place. I'd be
inclined to advocate for it's entire removal. Checking *only* that there
is an "rv" in that string seems pointless to me. If you're on a 64-bit
kernel and the node has riscv,isa = "rv32ima" it's gonna say it is okay?
Drew what do you think?

As was pointed out elsewhere, we shouldn't parse the dt to construct
this in the first place. We know what kernel we are running on, so we
should instead do write "rv" into the string & do:
string = "rv"
if IS_ENABLED(32-bit):
isa.append("32")
else
isa.append("64")
See the link below, and Drew's comment on that:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230424194911.264850-3-heiko.stuebner@vrull.eu/
I'm fine with this change for now in isolation, but it ideally will be
replaced with something that doesn't touch the DT/ACPI for this
information.

If you're already modifying these lines, why not convert the ifdeffery
into something like
if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_32BIT) && !strncasecmp(isa, "rv32", 4))
isa += 4;
else if (!strncasecmp(isa, "rv64", 4))
isa += 4;

Is there merit in just converting the entire string to lower-case in the
first place rather than having to fiddle with every single time we want
to do a comparison here?

This collapses to isalnum() I think, no?
Cheers,
Conor.
