Re: [PATCH] riscv: kbuild: drop CONFIG_RISCV_ISA_C

[Charles Papon]

Please do not drop it.

Compressed instruction extension has some specific overhead in small
RISC-V FPGA softcore, especialy in the ones which can't implement the
register file read in a asynchronous manner because of the FPGA
technology.
What are reasons to enforce RVC ?
