RISC-V: Ignore V from the riscv,isa DT property on older T-Head CPUs
Before attempting to support the pre-ratification version of vector found on older T-Head CPUs, disallow "v" in riscv,isa on these platforms. The deprecated property has no clear way to communicate the specific version of vector that is supported and much of the vendor provided software puts "v" in the isa string. riscv,isa-extensions should be used instead. This should not be too much of a burden for these systems, as the vendor shipped devicetrees and firmware do not work with a mainline kernel and will require updating. We can limit this restriction to only ignore v in riscv,isa on CPUs that report T-Head's vendor ID and a zero marchid. Newer T-Head CPUs that support the ratified version of vector should report non-zero marchid, according to Guo Ren [1].
