Re: [PATCH 17/19] RISC-V: drop dead code from subset parsing

This patch removes redundant checks and simplifies error handling in the RISC-V subset parsing logic. Specifically, it removes unnecessary checks for NULL return values from riscv_parsing_subset_version() and simplifies the error message construction in riscv_update_subset1(). These changes improve code clarity and maintainability.
