Recent Zhaoxin/Centaur CPUs support X86_FEATURE_MWAIT that implies
the MONITOR/MWAIT instructions can be used for ACPI Cx state.
The BIOS declares Cx state in _CST object to use FFH on Zhaoxin/Centaur
systems. So let function ffh_cstate_init() support These CPUs too.

Why do we even _have_ a vendor check here? Shouldn't the code just be going and doing the validation of the _CST object and CPUID that the changelogs blather on about? Intel certainly made the original sin on this one (see 991528d7348), but I hope _something_ changed in the 16 years since that patch went in.

Yes, agree!
Will change as below. Please help to check if it is OK. Thanks a lot.
static int __init ffh_cstate_init(void)
{
- struct cpuinfo_x86 *c = &boot_cpu_data;
-
- if (c->x86_vendor != X86_VENDOR_INTEL &&
- c->x86_vendor != X86_VENDOR_AMD &&
- c->x86_vendor != X86_VENDOR_HYGON)
+ if (!boot_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_MWAIT))
return -1;
