Yeah, so this is not right - you need to find the end of the extension
before containing - for example if I had a system with
rv64imafdcxconorkwe, you get something like:
[ 0.000000] CPU with hartid=0 is not available
[ 0.000000] Falling back to deprecated "riscv,isa"
[ 0.000000] Vendor extensions are ignored in riscv,isa. Use riscv,isa-extensions instead.
[ 0.000000] riscv: base ISA extensions acdefikmnorw
[ 0.000000] riscv: ELF capabilities acdfim

kwe are all pretty safe letters, but suppose one was a v..
I think you can just yoink the code from the s/z case:

You'll note that I made the dt property error dt only, this function
gets called for ACPI too. I think the skip is pretty safe there though
at the moment, we've not established any meanings yet for vendor stuff
on ACPI.
I think breaking is probably better than using continue - we get the _
skip from outside the switch statement out of that. And ye, I am lazy
so I kept it as a for loop.

Cheers,
Conor.
