Resending this one as it was blocked.

Thanks Heiko.

Made the following changes.

diff --git a/arch/riscv/kernel/cpufeature.c b/arch/riscv/kernel/cpufeature.c
index 327c19507dbb..f42c7d983d39 100644
--- a/arch/riscv/kernel/cpufeature.c
+++ b/arch/riscv/kernel/cpufeature.c
@@ -216,9 +216,8 @@ void __init riscv_fill_hwcap(void)

        }

-       if (__riscv_isa_extension_available(riscv_isa,
RISCV_ISA_EXT_ZIHINTPAUSE)) {
+       if (__riscv_isa_extension_available(riscv_isa,
RISCV_ISA_EXT_ZIHINTPAUSE))
                static_branch_enable(&riscv_pause_available);
-       }

        /* We don't support systems with F but without D, so mask those out
         * here. */

And will update the commit message when sending out the v2. I will
wait a bit to see if there are more comments.

Regards,
Dao
