Currently when a RAS error is reported it is not timestamped.
The ACPI 6.1 spec adds the timestamp field to the generic error
data entry v3 structure. The timestamp of when the firmware
generated the error is now being reported.

Please could you keep the people who reviewed/commented on your series in the past,
whenever you post a new version ?
Do you mean to just send the new version to their e-mail directly in addition to the lists? If so, I will do that next time.
If you send a new version of a series to the list, it is a good idea to keep
the people who commented (significantly) on your previous version in Cc, especially
when you have addressed their feedback. That will help them to keep track of the
series. People can always see the new version in the list, but then it is so easy
to miss something in the 100s of emails you get each day. I am sure people have
special filters for the emails based on if they are in Cc/To etc.
I know you provided good feedback on the previous patchset, but I did not have anyone specifically respond to add "reviewed-by:...". I don't think I should add reviewed-by for someone unless they specifically add it in a response :)
No, I haven't yet "Reviewed-by" your patches. I had some comments on it, which means
I expected it to be addressed as you committed in your response.

I think that should work to avoid duplication. I will move them to a header file in the next patchset.

What format is the (timestamp + 3) stored in ? Does it need conversion ?
The third byte of the timestamp is currently only used to determine if the time is precise or not. Bit 0 is used to specify that and the other bits in this byte are marked as reserved. This is shown in table 247 of the UEFI spec 2.6:
Byte 3:
Bit 0 – Timestamp is precise if this bit is set and correlates to the time of the error event.
Bit 7:1 – Reserved
Is it always the same endianness as that of the CPU ?
Cheers
Suzuki
