Acked.

Yeah, I understand. At first, I actually did the modifications in the
ISA probing loop with some dependency probing (ie loop while we don't
have a stable extension state). But I thought that it was not actually
our problem but rather the ISA string provider. For instance, Qemu
provides them.

I'm afraid that riscv_isa_extension_check() will become a rat nest so
rather than going that way, I would be in favor of adding a validation
callback for the extensions if needed.

I guess the "cleanest" way would be to have some "defered-like"
mechanism in ISA probing which would allow to handle ordering as well as
dependencies/implies for extensions. For Zca, Zcf, we actually do not
have ordering problems but I think it would be a bit broken not to
support that as well.
I can actually revive the work mentioned above to handle that and see if
it works ok.
