Using Clement's new validation callbacks, support checking that dependencies have been satisfied for the vector extensions. From the kernel's perfective, it's not required to differentiate between the conditions for all the various vector subsets - it's the firmware's job to not report impossible combinations. Instead, the kernel only has to check that the correct config options are enabled and to enforce its requirement of the d extension being present for FPU support. Since vector will now be disabled proactively, there's no need to clear the bit in elf_hwcap in riscv_fill_hwcap() any longer.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
