Not really. Firstly they service for different purpose. Secondly the
format here can be changed/updated depending on further requirment.
I can't assume they always keep the same format.

Yep, I suppose so.

Sure.

Do we really need to do that? IMHO, I think they are used for two different
usages, just like dmesg & mcelog.

I know you hope the print function in CPER & trace for cpi_extlog can be
merged into one. I just have one concern about it. Can we ensure these
two functions keeping align all the time? IOW, merge them for now until
change happens one day?

I agree.
