At this point, you've basically re-written this patch and should be
listed as a co-author at the very least!

So, nothing here makes V depend on CONFIG_FPU...

...but march only contains fd if CONFIG_FPU is enabled...

...so I think this will not work if !CONFIG_FPU && RISCV_ISA_V.
IIRC, vector uses some floating point opcodes, but does it (or Linux's
implementation) actually depend on having floating point support in the
kernel?
If not, this cannot be done in a oneliner. Otherwise, CONFIG_RISCV_ISA_V
should explicitly depend on CONFIG_FPU.
