Since you kzalloc ghes, shouldn't ghes->generic_v2 be NULL already?

Reading the spec, it is not clear whether you need the left shift
above.

Having said that, if you do it for read_ack_preserve, do you also need
to left shift read_ack_write by read_ack_register.bit_offset?

You either have a GHES or a GHESv2 structure. Instead of duplication,
could this be represented as a union?

Thanks,
