It may just be cargo culting? The commit that added this, a9b202606c69
("RISC-V: Improve /proc/cpuinfo output for ISA extensions") [1], added
an empty array other than this element & perhaps it was just not removed
when real entries were added? Symptom of adding a feature without an
actual user (multiletter extension) perhaps?
