Understood - but my point is that the "HYGON_7447V" symbol name
is inaccurate:

	+#define        HYGON_F18_M07           HFM(0x18, 7)
	+
	+#define        HYGON_7447V             HYGON_F18_M07

Note how 'HYGON_7447V' also covers 7490H/7446.

IMHO it will be less confusing if you skip the HYGON_7447V interim
symbol and just use HYGON_F18_M07 in arch_sched_node_distance(),
and add a comment that clarifies that the additional conditions
basically filter for the 7447V variant.

Or if you want a clean 7447V enumeration function, add it as
an inline function and use that in arch_sched_node_distance().

Both approaches would be acceptable.

Thanks,
