Ah, that is a great decision.
(I missed that this isn't the first version, please try to maintain a
changelog when posting subsequent modifications.)

Does it? There is even a non-normative note:
The Ssqosid extension does not require that S-mode mode be implemented.
I think it's because srmcfg has effect on M-mode, so the extension is
completely independent to allow it in pure M systems.
(We enable srmcfg in mstateen regardless of S version, so there is a
potential bug where we wouldn't correctly context switch the csr, given
a system with weird combination of extensions.)

We zero a zero bit. The code flows like this:
mstateen_val = 0;
...
mstateen_val &= ~(SMSTATEEN0_SRMCFG);
I would prefer if we didn't add the else branch, but I don't mind it too
much either if that's the opensbi style.
(Optimizing compiler should generate the same code.)
Thanks.
