True. I'll change patch description to:

    arm/virt: Wire up a GED error device for ACPI / GHES
    
    Adds support to ARM virtualization to allow handling
    a General Purpose Event (GPE) via GED error device.
    
    It is aligned with Linux Kernel patch:
    https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/1272350481-27951-8-git-send-email-ying.huang@intel.com/

As the spec at
https://uefi.org/specs/ACPI/6.5/18_Platform_Error_Interfaces.html#event-notification-for-generic-error-sources
revers to it as:

	"The implementation of Event notification requires the platform
	 to define a device with PNP ID PNP0C33 in the ACPI namespace, 
	 referred to as the error device."

Thanks!
