Ah, good catch.  We removed that dependency late.  I'll fix it.

Thank you for pointing that out. CTR does not use miselect and mireg*. There is no dependency on Smcsrind. I believe the spec needs to be corrected.

Chapter 1 states that:
Smctr depends on the Smcsrind extension, while Ssctr depends on the Sscsrind extension. Further, both Smctr and Ssctr depend upon implementation of S-mode.

There should be a dependency check in riscv_cpu_validate_set_extensions().
