As of now, cryptographic instructions ISAR fields are never cleared so we can end up with a cpu with cryptographic instructions but no floating-point/neon instructions which is not a possible configuration according to Arm specifications. In QEMU, we have 3 kinds of cpus regarding cryptographic instructions: + no support + cortex-a57/a72: cryptographic extension is optional, floating-point/neon is not. + cortex-a53: crytographic extension is optional as well as floating-point/neon. But cryptographic requires floating-point/neon support. Therefore we can safely clear the ISAR fields when neon is disabled. Note that other Arm cpus seem to follow this. For example cortex-a55 is like cortex-a53 and cortex-a76/cortex-a710 are like cortex-a57/a72.
