Merge tag 'x86_cpu_for_v5.11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 cpuid updates from Borislav Petkov:
"Only AMD-specific changes this time:
- Save the AMD physical die ID into cpuinfo_x86.cpu_die_id and
convert all code to use it (Yazen Ghannam)
- Remove a dead and unused TSEG region remapping workaround on AMD
(Arvind Sankar)"
* tag 'x86_cpu_for_v5.11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
x86/cpu/amd: Remove dead code for TSEG region remapping
x86/topology: Set cpu_die_id only if DIE_TYPE found
EDAC/mce_amd: Use struct cpuinfo_x86.cpu_die_id for AMD NodeId
x86/CPU/AMD: Remove amd_get_nb_id()
x86/CPU/AMD: Save AMD NodeId as cpu_die_id
