My intention, iff this goes ahead, is to deprecate that property, not have some 'you can use "riscv,isa" or boolean, whichever you choose' situation. Obviously for backwards compatibility reasons parsing it as a fallback would have be kept in Linux, so in theory a DT based Linux system "can use either". It would be up to other platforms to decide whether they would also like to do such a thing. > I say this as a non-Linux OS that has to deal with whatever Linux > decides to do with device trees.

I think I said it in my cover & in a later message, that I sent it here only for first thoughts and my intention is to "send a non-RFC version of this that also CCs the likes of QEMU, U-Boot & the BSD folk". It's clearly not something that could be done unilaterally.
