Current hart ISA ("riscv,isa") parser don't correctly parse:
1. Multi-letter extensions
2. Version numbers
All ISA extensions ratified recently has multi-letter extensions
(except 'H'). The current "riscv,isa" parser that is easily confused
by multi-letter extensions and "p" in version numbers can be a huge
problem for adding new extensions through the device tree.
Leaving it would create incompatible hacks and would make "riscv,isa"
value unreliable.
This commit implements minimal parser for "riscv,isa" strings. With this,
we can safely ignore multi-letter extensions and version numbers.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
