Will fix in the next version.

One thing worth noting is that if DT provides zk,
all zbkb, zbkc, zbkx and zkn, zkr, zkt would be enabled.

Note that zk is a valid extension name and the current
DT binding spec allows this.

This commit also changes the logical id of
"also" makes it sound like this a separate change?
If so, split it into another patch.
No, adding Zba naturally changes the logical id.
I think it would be strange the first patch appends Zba
then the second patch moves Zba to the beginning of the list

existing multi-letter extensions and adds a statement
that instead of logical id compatibility, the order
is needed.

There currently lacks a mechanism to merge them when
producing cpuinfo. Namely if you provide a riscv,isa
"rv64imafdc_zk_zks", the cpuinfo output would be
"rv64imafdc_zbkb_zbkc_zbkx_zknd_zkne_zknh_zkr_zksed
_zksh_zkt"
