The first multi-letter extension after the single-letter extensions does
not have to be preceded by an underscore, which could cause the parser
to mistakenly find a single-letter extension after the start of the
multi-letter portion of the string.
Three letters precede multi-letter extensions (s, x & z), none of which
are valid single-letter extensions. The dt-binding also allows
multi-letter extensions starting with h, but no such extension have been
frozen or ratified, and the unprivileged spec no longer uses "h" as a
prefix for multi-letter hypervisor extensions, having moved to "sh"
instead. For that reason, modify the parser to stop at s, x & z to prevent
this overrun, ignoring h.

The parser in U-Boot only supports single-letter extensions & the
single-letter h has to be at the end of the single-letter section, so it
would not be difficult to terminate parsing once a h is seen (you'd need
to support the hypervisor extension to support additional hypervisor
extensions after all) if in the future a multi-letter extension starting
with h did come about. I've got no problem adding a special case for h,
but I'm tempted to just remove the multi-letter h extensions from the
binding, given there's actually not going to be any extensions ratified
using that naming scheme.

According to
https://github.com/riscv/riscv-isa-manual/blob/main/src/naming.adoc the
ISA string is case insensitive. Why can we assume here that it is lower
case?
