But then I don't see the point of adding the Hygon vendor, since any
check can be simplified:

(AMD || HYGON) -->
AMD

(AMD && fam = 17h) || (HYGON && fam = 18h) -->
AMD && (fam = 17h || fam = 18h)

(AMD && fam = 17h) || HYGON -->
AMD && (fam = 17h || fam = 18h)

etc. Anyway, I don't care much either way.
