For ACPI cpufreq patch, you are right. But for the whole point of view,
there has some technical difference between Hygon Dhyana and AMD Family
17h.
For cpufreq if not added X86_VENDOR_HYGON codes, this driver will not
work functionally on Hygon platforms.

X86_VENDOR_HYGON is not mechanically added wherever X86_VENDOR_AMD is
used, we have reviewed and tested the features wherever X86_VENDOR_HYGON
is needed.

As Hygon Dhyana can share code path with AMD family 17h, to minimize the
code duplication, we choose to reuse the AMD's codes here.

Thanks,
