ARM_SINGLE_ARMV7M implies Arm Cortex M7 too, so let's add it to
description with M0/M3/M4.

Well it also implies M33 and M55. I'd suggest drop specific implementations
from description - so we do not need to update it each time new compatible
core is released. To account newest cores like M33 and M55 you can rephrase
to:
- ARMv7-M/v8-M

This ^^^ is ok for me. Also, I don't see any M0 used at the moment so no 
ARMv6-M makes sense, if any in the future we can update. I see M3,M4,M7 
for the moment, so ARMv7-M. But at the moment no ARMv8-M, or am I wrong?
Maybe it would be better to add ARMv8-M when there will really be the 
support, considering also that ARM_SINGLE_ARMV7M is a bit ambiguous to 
be used with ARMv8-M. So maybe that could be modified too when an 
ARMv8-M is added.

What do you think about this?

Best regards
