I'd rather not have // style comments in fwts if that's OK.

The second if statement could be replaced with a further && clause,
something like:

	if ((type == 0) &&
            (strstr(fwts_cpuinfo->vendor_id, "AMD") ||
strstr(fwts_cpuinfo->vendor_id, "Hygon")) &&
            (amd_Tom2ForceMemTypeWB && (start >= 0x100000000) && (start
<= amd_tom2_addr)))
		return WRITE_BACK;
