I will add a new binding for "sifive,s7" and modify the code as follows.

S7_0: cpu@0 {
compatible = "sifive,s7", "riscv";
...
riscv,isa = "rv64imac_zicsr_zba_zbb";
...
};

The 21G1.02.00 document is still not allowed to be public so far. By
comparing with instructions included in b extensions [1], I can confirm
that the 21G1.02.00 only supports Zba and Zbb.

[1] https://github.com/riscv/riscv-bitmanip/blob/main/bitmanip/overview.adoc#

Zicsr is also supported as described in 21G1.02.00 document. So I will
modify as follows.

U74_1: cpu@1 {
compatible = "sifive,u74-mc", "riscv";
...
riscv,isa = "rv64imafdc_zicsr_zba_zbb";
...
};
