Yes, the changes to add Zicbop support should closely resemble those
of Zicbom/Zicboz. So I suggest you grep / git-blame, etc. one or both of
those extensions in order to read how they were done.

With a quick look at this series I can see several changes are missing,
such as

 - an update to the documentation, Documentation/arch/riscv/hwprobe.rst
 - a bump to RISCV_HWPROBE_MAX_KEY (as the comment below the change
   this patch makes says to do)
 - test(s) added to tools/testing/selftests/riscv/hwprobe/cbo.c

Thanks,
