Well, the current definition is

#define csr_write(csr, val)					\
({								\
	unsigned long __v = (unsigned long)(val);		\
	__asm__ __volatile__ ("csrw " __ASM_STR(csr) ", %0"	\
			      : : "rK" (__v)			\
			      : "memory");			\
})

and _ASM_STR(csr) evaluates to #csr. I think that results in something
like

__asm__("csrw " "CSR_FOO" ", %0"

In any case, the errors I get are

arch/riscv/cpu/cpu.c: Assembler messages:
arch/riscv/cpu/cpu.c:94: Error: unknown CSR `CSR_MSCOUNTEREN'
arch/riscv/cpu/cpu.c:94: Error: unknown CSR `CSR_MSCOUNTEREN'

which doesn't seem like a numeric CSR to me.
