I'm not 100% on the motivation here. Let me try and regurgitate the
changelog in a way that makes more sense to me and maybe you can confirm
it.
Currently riscv_cpufeature_patch_func() does nothing at the
RISCV_ALTERNATIVES_EARLY_BOOT stage.
Add a check to detect whether we are in this stage and exit early.
This will allow us to use riscv_cpufeature_patch_func() for scanning of
all ISA extensions.
Would that be a correct summary?
Thanks,
Conor.
