I remember in some earlier version some way back there was the
suggestion of using a sub-node instead and then adding boolean
properties for the supported extensions.

Aka something like
	mmu {
		riscv,svpbmt;	
	};

Which I guess would be a lot nicer. Also right now there is string-
comparison done on the code side, which would look way easier
when just looking for booleans in the dt instead.

Also isn't an enum a "one-of" selection, so wouldn't work directly
for multiple extensions?
