It is unnecessary to distinguish c9xx, their event index is compatible.
The dtb and opensbi will final decide which event can be used.

The content is as follows.
processor : 0
hart : 0
isa : rv64imafdc
mmu : sv39
uarch : thead,c910
mvendorid : 0x5b7
marchid : 0x0
mimpid : 0x0
The `mvendorid`, `marchid`, `mimpid` are the same across allwinner D1 (C906),
T-HEAD th1520 (C910) and the sophgo mango (C920). It seems T-HEAD use MCPUID
CSR to store CPU info. But this is not standard and not shown in cpuinfo.
