I think should be goto err_free, see more below.

We might end up trying to unmap (error_status_address) which is not mapped
if we hit the error in mapping read_ack_register. The read_ack_register unmap
hunk should be moved below to err_free.

nit: We are actually writing something to the read_ack_register. The names
read_ack_register (which may be as per standard) and more importantly the
function name (ghes_do_read_ack) sounds a bit misleading.

Rest looks fine to me.
