It's no sense to check the CPU type when mc->valid_cpu_types[0] is NULL, which is a program error. Raise an assert on this.
A precise hint for the error message is given when mc->valid_cpu_types[0] is the only valid entry. Besides, enumeration on mc->valid_cpu_types[0] when we have mutiple valid entries there is avoided to increase the code readability, as suggested by Philippe Mathieu-Daudé. Besides, @cc comes from machine->cpu_type or mc->default_cpu_type. For the later case, it can be NULL and it's also a program error. We should use assert() in this case.
