I dislike this, since in-kernel users will have to check for "parent" &
"child" extensions.

We threw together some code for this a few months ago after some
discussion with some of your Rivos colleagues. The initial version of it
was in this thread with Evan:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230703-mangle-panning-75909ebbe30c@spud/
and in a later iteration there was some more done by myself and Drew:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230713-bootleg-tray-c5bfe58b5673@wendy/
One of the versions ended up as the riscv-extensions-strings-scalar-crypto
branch in my k.org repo:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/conor/linux.git/log/?h=riscv-extensions-strings-scalar-crypto

That crypto stuff has all gone quiet of late unfortunately. I wonder if
Samuel is still working on it.

But I would also be fine with this one from a pure in-kernel PoV.
I think it's likely to be annoying for users though, since they won't be
able to poll for the "parent" unless we re-assemble the parents in
hwprobe etc (eugh).

- don't permit passing the "parents" at all, and only deal with the
  "children". We can enforce this for DT, but not for ACPI, so probably
  not a runner.

Thanks,
Conor.
