IMO, it would be really nice to avoid extending this line so much, but
this is up to the AMD people.

Also, while you are at it, "include" in the first sentence should be
"including" and a new paragraph after "processors." would make this
comment easier to follow from the logical standpoint, because the
first sentence is about the supported platforms and the second one is
about additional requirements (ie. something else).

So it's probably better to let AMD people fixing this part.
Thx for the feedback.

Agree. Actually, we will use this driver for all future AMD CPU generations
that starts from paritial Zen2.

How about modifying here as "partial Zen2, Zen3, and future processors"?
