Yeah, this commit message needs a bit massaging. Don't be afraid to be
more verbose than you feel is necessary. :-)

Hmm, so if CMCI is not supported, you just disabled polling of this bank
and returned here. Not good.

Almost the exact sequence is also in cmci_clear(). How about a static
function called __cmci_disable_bank which does that and the other
functions call it?

There is some crazy casting going on here: hest_hdr can be struct
acpi_hest_generic and struct acpi_hest_ia_corrected.

Since the ->enabled field overlaps in both structs and you want only it
as a struct acpi_hest_generic, and want the cmc later, why don't you do
this:

	struct acpi_hest_ia_corrected *cmc = (struct acpi_hest_ia_corrected *)hest_hdr;

	if (!cmc->enabled)
		...

Then this below:

> +	if (!(cmc->flags & ACPI_HEST_FIRMWARE_FIRST))
> +		return 0;

and so on... It should simplify the code a bit and drop the fun games
with casting.

->num_hardware_banks is unsigned char, so "== 0"

	pr_info(HEST_PFX "Enabling..." (fullstop at the end of the sentence).

Btw, this hest.c could use the standard pr_fmt mechanism.
