[PATCH v2 10/10] RISC-V: provide a Kconfig option to disable parsing "riscv,isa"

[Conor Dooley]

As it says on the tin, provide a Kconfig option to disabling parsing the
"riscv,isa" devicetree property. Hide the option behind NONPORTABLE so
that only those willing to keep the pieces enable it, and make sure the
default kernel contains the fallback code.

+	  Parsing the "riscv,isa" devicetree property has been deprecated and
+	  replaced by a list of explicitly defined strings. For compatibility
+	  with existing platforms, the kernel will fall back to parsing the

+	  Documentation/devicetree/bindings/riscv/extensions.yaml for details
