Subject: [PATCH 0/2] riscv: Extension parsing fixes

This series contains two minor fixes for the extension parsing in
cpufeature.c.

Some T-Head boards without vector 1.0 support report "v" in the isa
string in their DT which will cause the kernel to run vector code. The
code to blacklist "v" from these boards was doing so by using
riscv_cached_mvendorid() which has not been populated at the time of
extension parsing. This fix instead greedily reads the mvendorid CSR of
the boot hart to determine if the cpu is from T-Head.

The other fix is for an incorrect indexing bug. riscv extensions
sometimes imply other extensions. When adding these "subset" extensions
to the harware capabilities array, they need to be checked if they are
valid. The current code only checks if the extension that is including
other extensions is valid and not the subset extensions.  

These patches were previously included in:
