[PATCH v1 1/2] riscv: don't read riscv, isa in the riscv cpu's get_desc()

[Conor Dooley]

From: Conor Dooley <conor.dooley at microchip.com>

cpu_get_desc() for the RISC-V CPU currently reads "riscv,isa" to get
the description, but it is no longer a required property and cannot be
assummed to always be present, as the new "riscv,isa-extensions" and
"riscv,isa-base" properties may be present instead.

On RISC-V, cpu_get_desc() has two main uses - firstly providing an
informational name for the CPU for smbios or at boot with
DISPLAY_CPUINFO etc and secondly it forms the basis of ISA extension
detection in supports_extension() as it returns (a portion of) an ISA
string.

cpu_get_desc() returns a string, which aligned with "riscv,isa" but
the new property is a list of strings. Rather than add support for
the list of strings property, which would require creating an isa
string from "riscv,isa-extensions", modify the RISC-V CPU's
implementaion of cpu_get_desc() return the first compatible as the
cpu description instead. This may be fine for the informational cases,
but it would break extension dtection, given supports_extension()
expects cpu_get_desc() to return an ISA string.

Call dev_read_string() directly in supports_extension() to get the
contents of "riscv,isa" so that extension detection remains functional.
As a knock-on affect of this change, extension detection is no longer
broken for long ISA strings. Previously if the ISA string exceeded the
32 element array that supports_extension() passed to cpu_get_desc(),
it would return ENOSPC and no extensions would be detected.
This bug probably had no impact as U-Boot does not currently do anything
meaningful with the results of supports_extension() and most SoCs
supported by U-Boot don't have anywhere near that complex of an ISA
string. The QEMU virt machine's CPUs do however, so extension detection
doesn't work there.

I'm not really sure if I am happy with this patch - people could
definitely have got use out of the cpu info printout of the ISA string
before this patch - they'd have seen something like
CPU:	rv64imafdc
at boot, but now they will see
CPU:	sifive,u74
If it really is desired, cpu_get_desc() could be made to assemble
an isa string out of "riscv,isa-extensions", but I think it's always
gonna be a bit flawed, since that string can run to almost arbitrary
length now - one I saw for a CPU last week was 320 characters long
and these things are only going to grow.
