[PATCH 01/12] ras: add estatus core interfaces

Ahmed Tiba ahmed.tiba at arm.com
Wed Dec 17 03:28:34 PST 2025


Introduce CONFIG_RAS_ESTATUS_CORE and the public header that exposes
the generic error-status abstractions. Nothing uses the option yet, but
the definitions are shared by both GHES and the forthcoming DeviceTree
provider, so land them ahead of the core implementation.
