I'm not keen on this construct, where you are checking vlen greater than
128 and the presence of Zvkned without checking for the presence of V
itself. Can you use "has_vector()" in any places where you depend on the
presence of vector please?

Also, there are potentially a lot of places in this drivers where you
can replace "riscv_isa_extension_available()" with
"riscv_has_extension_likely()". The latter is optimised with
alternatives, so in places that are going to be evaluated frequently it
may be beneficial for you.

Cheers,
Conor.
