[PATCH v1 0/7] ISA string parser cleanups++

[Conor Dooley <conor@kernel.org>]

From: Conor Dooley <conor.dooley@microchip.com>

This stuff goes on top of riscv/for-next plus this series from Yangyu
that made me go looking at the ISA string parser again:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/tencent_E6911C8D71F5624E432A1AFDF86804C3B509@qq.com/

With that out of the way, here are some cleanups for our riscv,isa
handling.
One of these patches is yoinked from Sunil's ACPI series & tweaked
slightly since this needs to apply independently of that, that runs the
isa string parsing loop only over _possible_ cpus.

Other than that, there are some bits that were discussed with Drew on
the "should we allow caps" threads that I have now created patches for:
- splitting of riscv_of_processor_hartid() into two distinct functions,
  one for use purely during early boot, prior to the establishment of
  the possible-cpus mask & another to fit the other current use-cases.
- this allows us to then completely skip some validation of the hartid
  in the parser.
- the biggest diff in the series is a rework of the comments in the
  parser, as I have mostly found the existing (sparse) ones to not be
  all that helpful whenever I have to go back and look at it.
- from writing the comments, I found a conditional doing a bit of a
  dance that I found counter-intuitive, so I've had a go at making that
  match what I would expect a little better.
- `i` implies `Zicsr` & `Zifence`, so add them as extensions and set
  them for the craic. Sure why not like. Of all the patches here, this
  is the one I can most take-or-leave.

Cheers,
Conor.
