state") of riscv-j-extension.

+            The standard Supm extension for pointer masking support in user
+            mode (U-mode) as ratified at commit d70011dde6c2 ("Update to
+            ratified state") of riscv-j-extension.
+
+            Supm represents a combination of underlying hardware capability
+            (Smnpm or Ssnpm), U-mode consumer privilege level, and M/S-mode
+            software configuration that enables pointer masking for U-mode.
+
+            DO NOT include this property in device trees targeting privileged
+            system software (S-mode or M-mode).
+
+            This property is only appropriate in device trees provided to
+            U-mode software where the next-higher-privilege-mode supports
+            Smnpm or Ssnpm and enables it for U-mode.
