[PATCH v2 00/19] riscv: report more ISA extensions through hwprobe

In order to be able to gather more information about the supported ISA
extensions from userspace using the hwprobe syscall, add more ISA extensions
report. This series adds the following ISA extensions parsing support:

- Zfh[min]
- Zvfh[min]
- Zihintntl
- Zbc
- Zvbb
- Zvbc
- Zvkb
- Zvkg
- Zvkned
- Zvknh[ab]
- Zvksed
- Zvksh
- Zvkn
- Zvknc
- Zvkng
- Zvks
- Zvksc
- Zvksg
- Zvkt
- Zfa
- Zbkb
- Zbkc
- Zbkx
- Zknd
- Zkne
- Zknh
- Zkr
- Zksed
- Zksh
- Zkt

Some of these extensions are actually shorthands for other "sub"
extensions. This series includes a patch from Conor/Evan that adds a way
to specify such "bundled" extensions. When exposing these bundled
extensions to userspace through hwprobe, only the "sub" extensions are
exposed.

In order to test it, one can use qemu and the small hwprobe utility
provided[1]. Run qemu by specifying additional ISA extensions, for
instance:

$ qemu-system-riscv64 -cpu rv64,v=true,zk=true,zvksh=true,zvkned=true
  <whatever options you want>

Then, run hwprobe_dump:

$ ./hwprobe_dump
Base system ISA:
 - IMA_FD
 - C
 - V
Supported extensions:
 - Zba
 - Zbb
 - Zbs
 - Zbc
 - Zbkb
 - Zbkc
 - Zbkx
 - Zknd
 - Zkne
 - Zknh
 - Zkt
 - Zvkned
 - Zvksh
 - Zihintntl
 - Zfa

Changes in V2:
 - Fix typo in first commit title (fatorize->factorize)
 - Add Zfa support
 - Fix missing uppercase for Zvkt naming in dt-bindings
 - Add Conor Acked-by on dt-bindings commits
 - Add scalar crypto support from Conor/Evan.
 - Use reporting of bunbled extensions for vector crypto
