[PATCH v3 00/10] cover: ACPI: APEI: share GHES CPER helpers and add DT FFH provider

[Ahmed Tiba]

This is v3 of the GHES refactor series. The goal is to split the GHES
CPER handling into shared helpers so the same firmware-first CPER flow
can be reused by a DT-based provider, while keeping the early patches as
mechanical moves and addressing the review comments on naming, driver
integration, and build coverage.

Changes in v3:
- Fixed the new ghes_cper.h header comment and kept the original
  copyrights.
- Added <linux/bitfield.h> to fix the kernel test robot build failure.
- Renamed the binding/compatible and DT-side naming to ras-cper.
- Switched the DT provider to generic firmware property accessors.
- Replaced atomic source IDs with IDA.
- Updated IRQ/error/resource handling as suggested in review
  (platform_get_irq(), dev_err_probe(), devm platform ioremap
  helpers).
- Removed the ARM64 dependency and fixed Kconfig/build coverage.
- Clarified comments and kept the early move patches mechanical.

Changes in v2:
- Dropped the proposed "estatus core" and kept GHES naming/flow intact
  (per Borislav Petkov).
- Re-sliced the series into smaller mechanical steps (per Mauro Carvalho Chehab).
- Minor DT binding fixes based on Krzysztof Kozlowski's feedback.
- Removed fixmap slot usage from the DT FFH driver (per Will Deacon).

Series structure:
- Patches 1-8 are mechanical moves only and do not change behavior.
- Patch 9 wires the shared helpers back into GHES.
- The DT firmware-first CPER buffer provider is added in the final patches.
- "ACPI: APEI: introduce GHES helper" is internal build glue only
  and does not introduce a new user-visible configuration option.
