[Bug 2098421] Re: [SRU] U-Boot 2024.01 fails to boot on RISC-V with QEMU 9.0 and cpu=max

[Heinrich Schuchardt]

Launching RISC-V U-Boot 2024.01+dfsg-5ubuntu2.1 and
2024.01+dfsg-1ubuntu5.2 with cpu=max works fine on QEMU
1:9.0.2+ds-4ubuntu5.3.

Title:
  [SRU] U-Boot 2024.01 fails to boot on RISC-V with QEMU 9.0 and cpu=max

Bug description:
  [ Impact ]

  RISC-V device-trees have moved to using riscv,isa-extensions instead
  of riscv,isa. If riscv,isa is missing, U-Boot 2024.01 fails to boot.
  This can be demonstrated with QEMU 9.0 and cpu=max.

  The following patches provide a remedy:

  0d95add3b1c7 ("riscv: cpu: improve multi-letter extension detection in supports_extension()"
  b90edde70127 ("riscv: don't read riscv, isa in the riscv cpu's get_desc()")
  f39b1b77d822 ("riscv: support extension probing using riscv, isa-extensions")

  [Test Plan ]

  With QEMU 9.0 installed run:

  qemu-system-riscv64 -M virt -cpu max \
  -kernel /usr/lib/u-boot/qemu-riscv64_smode/uboot.elf

  For regression testing:

  Install u-boot-sifive on the Unmatched board and boot.
  Install u-boot-microchip on the Icicle board and boot.
  Install u-boot-starfive on the VisionFive 2 board and boot.

  [ Where problems could occur ]

  Booting on QEMU or real hardware might fail if the implementation of
  ISA string parsing were incorrect.
