Hi

Distinguish based on stepping number is not recommended for some reasons:
1) Intel doesn't officially disclose stepping information in SDM.
2) Stepping can be changing in the future.

We still prefer the conventional distinguish approach based on feature bits.
I have refined the patch as attached according to all your suggestions.

    gcc/
        * common/config/i386/i386-common.c (processor_names): Add cascadelake.
