Lack of a user. I was hoping that it'd go alongside the crypto extension
stuff that needed it.

For sure.

Yeah, I think I might've done it intentionally so that the same thing
appeared in /proc/cpuinfo whether the "parent" or all the "children"
were provided in DT.

(I wrote that stuff before hwprobe got merge I think)

I think users would probably appreciate being able to poll for the whole
extension, rather than the component parts. There's probably also some
thoughts expressed in the two threads I linked, IIRC Evan and I did
discuss some of the behaviour there. What to do if an extension later
grows a subset springs to mind.
