I agree with Alistair.  **I** removed 'S' and 'U' from the ISA string
and it should be working in the latest development branch (I tested).

I tested it on master and QEMU 7.1-rc1 (tag: v7.1-rc1).

Example:
/opt/riscv/bin/qemu-system-riscv64
         -machine virt
         -nographic
         -cpu rv64
         -smp 1
         -kernel images/linux.bin
         -initrd images/busybox.cpio.gz
         -append 'console=hvc0 earlycon=sbi'
         -bios images/opensbi-fw_jump.elf
         -gdb tcp::9000

Replacing -machine virt with -machine virt,dumpdtb=sample.dtb dumps the
binary DeviceTree as sample.dtb and generated CPU-related parts like...

                cpu at 0 {
                        phandle = <0x01>;
                        device_type = "cpu";
                        reg = <0x00>;
                        status = "okay";
                        compatible = "riscv";
                        riscv,isa =
"rv64imafdch_zicsr_zifencei_zba_zbb_zbc_zbs";
                        mmu-type = "riscv,sv48";

                        interrupt-controller {
                                #interrupt-cells = <0x01>;
                                interrupt-controller;
                                compatible = "riscv,cpu-intc";
                                phandle = <0x02>;
                        };
                };

Besides, this function alone generates the ISA string for DTB and
there's no way such ISA strings with invalid 'S' and 'U' can be
generated.  It's definitely a behavior of QEMU 7.0 or before.

Please. Please make sure that you are testing the right version of QEMU.

Thanks,
Tsukasa
