Maybe keep these all out of the kernel?

This was discussed a little in an earlier posting. This header file is
maintained by the BPMP firmware team and using it verbatim means little
to no effort required to update it.

The usual recommendation is to just use Linux coding style in shared
files, and possibly add another header that provides the required
definitions. Otherwise you end up with people randomly cleaning up
the file later ;-)

That's just going to push the problem into all other operating systems; what happens when BSD, Windows, QNX, FreeRTOS, ... import this file and attempt to apply the same argument, but want the FW team to use their coding style?
