This patch series have some unrelated fixes related
to clocksource, dt-bindings and isa strings.

I combined them into series as most of them are
prerequisite for kvm patch series.

Changes from v3->v4:
1. Removed export module patch.
2. Updated dt binding description.

Changes from v2->v3:
1. Updated commit text of dt binding patch.
2. Removed couple of remaining uppercase usage.

Changes from v1->v2:

1. Dropped the case-insensitive support patch and added a dt-bindings
   update patch.
2. Added a export symbol patch.

There is only one clocksource in RISC-V. The boot cpu initializes
that clocksource. No need to keep a percpu data structure.

From: Anup Patel <anup.patel@wdc.com>

This patch adds riscv_isa integer to represent ISA features common
across all CPUs. The riscv_isa is not same as elf_hwcap because
elf_hwcap will only have ISA features relevant for user-space apps
whereas riscv_isa will have ISA features relevant to both kernel
and user-space apps.

One of the use case is KVM hypervisor where riscv_isa will be used
to do following operations:

1. Check whether hypervisor extension is available
2. Find ISA features that need to be virtualized (e.g. floating
   point support, vector extension, etc.)

Currently, kernel prints a info warning if any of the extensions
from "mafdcsu" is missing in device tree. This is not entirely
correct as Linux can boot with "f or d" extensions if kernel is
configured accordingly. Moreover, it will continue to print the
info string for future extensions such as hypervisor as well which
is misleading. /proc/cpuinfo also doesn't print any other extensions
except "mafdcsu".

Make sure that info log is only printed only if kernel is configured
to have any mandatory extensions but device tree doesn't describe it.
All the extensions present in device tree and follow the order
described in the RISC-V specification (except 'S') are printed via
/proc/cpuinfo always.

Since the RISC-V specification states that ISA description strings are
case-insensitive, there's no functional difference between mixed-case,
upper-case, and lower-case ISA strings. Thus, to simplify parsing,
specify that the letters present in "riscv,isa" must be all lowercase.

Do you have any opinions on how this patch might change for the Z-prefix 
extensions?  This bitfield approach probably won't scale, and with the 
EXPORT_SYMBOL(), it might be worth trying to put together a approach that 
would work over the long term?

Our plan is to use bitmap instead of bitfield and all Zxyz extensions will be
assigned bit positions "27 + i" where "i" will be based on order in-which they
are defined in RISC-V spec. In general, "i" is just a unique relative index
(starting from 0).

To summarize, the existing bitfield approach can be naturally extended
using bitmap.

We will update this patch accordingly.

Anup

Please add this to the kvm series.  Right now this is just dead code.

Sure, I will include this patch in KVM series.
