If you say so. :)

And AMD's Infinity Fabric isn't.... infinite. Things have names.

That discussion seems off-topic for this patchset. It references a
marketing name used by the company, and as such it makes sense to be
able to cross-reference:
https://www.tesla.com/support/full-self-driving-computer

Tesla seems to have moved away from the initial "Hardware 3" naming
scheme, so using this naming seems as good as any.
