Subject: [PATCH v2 00/10] RISC-V: Probe DT extension support using riscv,isa-extensions & riscv,isa-base

Hey,

Based on my latest iteration of deprecating riscv,isa [1], here's an
implementation of the new properties for Linux. The first few patches,
up to "RISC-V: split riscv_fill_hwcap() in 3", are all prep work that
further tames some of the extension related code, on top of my already
applied series that cleans up the ISA string parser.
Perhaps "RISC-V: shunt isa_ext_arr to cpufeature.c" is a bit gratuitous,
but I figured a bit of coalescing of extension related data structures
would be a good idea. Note that riscv,isa will still be used in the
absence of the new properties. Palmer suggested adding a Kconfig option
to turn off the fallback for DT, which I have gone and done. It's locked
behind the NONPORTABLE option for good reason.

In v2, I've also come up with a more reasonable name for the new
function I added & fixed up various comments from Drew and Evan.

Cheers,
Conor.

Conor Dooley (9):
  RISC-V: drop a needless check in print_isa_ext()
  RISC-V: shunt isa_ext_arr to cpufeature.c
  RISC-V: repurpose riscv_isa_ext array in riscv_fill_hwcap()
  RISC-V: add missing single letter extension definitions
  RISC-V: add single letter extensions to riscv_isa_ext
  RISC-V: split riscv_fill_hwcap() in 3
  RISC-V: enable extension detection from new properties
  RISC-V: try new extension properties in of_early_processor_hartid()
  RISC-V: provide a Kconfig option to disable parsing "riscv,isa"

Heiko Stuebner (1):
  RISC-V: don't parse dt/acpi isa string to get rv32/rv64
