The original commit 991528d73486 ("ACPI: Processor native C-states using
MWAIT") has a vendor check for Intel in the function of ffh_cstate_init().

Commit 5209654a46ee ("x86/ACPI/cstate: Allow ACPI C1 FFH MWAIT use on AMD
systems") and commit 280b68a3b3b9 ("x86/cstate: Allow ACPI C1 FFH MWAIT
use on Hygon systems") add vendor check for AMD and HYGON in the function
of ffh_cstate_init().

Recent Zhaoxin and Centaur CPUs support MONITOR/MWAIT instructions that
can be used for ACPI Cx state in the same way as Intel. So expected to
add the support of these CPUs in the function of ffh_cstate_init() too.

The CPU feature X86_FEATURE_MWAIT indicates processor supports MONITOR/
MWAIT instructions. So the check for many CPU vendors in ffh_cstate_init()
is unnecessary, use X86_FEATURE_MWAIT to replace the CPU vendor check.

Thanks a lot.
Add some original commit authors this patch related to.

or please let me know if I'm expected to pick up this one.  Thanks!


Yes for me. Thanks a lot.
