You can make that a simple core function when cpu_smt_*_threads is
consistent along the lines of my previous reply.

static bool cpu_smt_num_threads_valid(unsigned int threads)
{
        if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_SMT_NUM_THREADS_DYNAMIC))
		return threads >= 1 && threads <= cpu_smt_max_threads;
        return threads == 1 || threads == cpu_smt_max_threads;
}

Or something like that.

Thanks,
