Yes, this description is much clearer.

In the patch 9 [1], I set the CPU_TOPO_LEVEL_PACKAGE in bitmap. This
level is a basic topology level in general, so it's worth being set.

Only in Intel's 0x1F, it doesn't have a corresponding type, and where
I use it as a termination condition for 0x1F encoding (not an error case).

Okay, I'll put the declaration of "next_level" at the beginning of this
function with a current variable "level".

OK, will combine these.
