Thanks for your bug report.

The documentation for Sys::Info::Device::CPU is indeed a bit
confusing, as it refers to Sys::Info although it does not use it.

We've had this topic recently in #941982, and libsys-info-perl is in
the NEW queue since Friday.

Oops, that's interesting and means we'll need a dependency (at least
a Recommends) on libsys-info-driver-linux-perl (which is also in NEW
as it's also a dependency of libsys-info-perl).
