AFAIU, Linux just assumes them since they weren't their own thing prior
to ISA spec 20191213. I think in- & ex- cluding them are both valid...
Yeah.

Does the U-Boot ISA string parsing not just ignore un-implemented
extensions? If it does ignore things you don't implement, then I think
including the Z extensions should be no harm.
IMO, it'd be nice to have this string match whatever the hardware can
support so that same Devicetree can be used for U-Boot & whatever OS it
is booting.
That said, I'm yet to be sure that this SoC supports Zba or Zbb.
I asked on the corresponding patchset for Linux and the answer I got,
not from the vendor, was that it did.
To what extent it might (or if it actually does) I have not yet
determined. It's not mentioned in any of the documentation that I have
got my hands on.
I have one of these boards, so am in the process of getting something
functional enough on it to actually test that.
Thanks!
Conor.
