This is a much needed simplification and readability improvement. Thanks!
Generated code seems to be unchanged.

If you drop the #undef lines (or explain why we absolutely need them),
you can take the ack from below.

Acked-by: Carl-Daniel Hailfinger <c-d.hailfinger.devel.2006 at gmx.net>

Bonus points if you manage to convert all mptable.c files for MCP55 (or
even, if that task is not too daring, all mptable.c files).
MCP55 mptable.c would be:
src/mainboard/msi/ms7260/mptable.c
src/mainboard/msi/ms9282/mptable.c
src/mainboard/tyan/s2912/mptable.c
src/mainboard/supermicro/h8dmr/mptable.c
src/mainboard/nvidia/l1_2pvv/mptable.c
src/mainboard/gigabyte/m57sli/mptable.c

Regards,
Carl-Daniel
