Typing it seven times didn't make you think "how about a helper?" :)

Perhaps:

diff --git a/arch/powerpc/include/asm/cputable.h b/arch/powerpc/include/asm/cput
index 80f315e..956cbc3 100644
--- a/arch/powerpc/include/asm/cputable.h
+++ b/arch/powerpc/include/asm/cputable.h
@@ -123,6 +123,11 @@ struct cpu_spec {
 
 extern struct cpu_spec         *cur_cpu_spec;
 
+static inline int oprofile_cpu_type_matches(const char *s)
+{
+       return s && (strcmp(cur_cpu_spec->oprofile_cpu_type, s) == 0);
+}
+
 extern unsigned int __start___ftr_fixup, __stop___ftr_fixup;
 
 extern struct cpu_spec *identify_cpu(unsigned long offset, unsigned int pvr);


And then callsites become:

 static int init_mpc7450_pmu(void)
 {
        if (!oprofile_cpu_type_matches("ppc/7450"))
                return -ENODEV;


cheers
