Can we please rework these first few patches into a series:

1. Clean up printk() usage
2. Rename the type macros
3. Rename the PPI enum & enum values
4. Move the type macro and PPI enum into a header
5. Add new enum for SPIs

Please leave CNTHCL_* as they originally were. It's not part of the
interface of the driver, and leaving them as they are will save us an
interdependency with KVM.

I'm happy to queue that immediately, as it's purely structural and
shouldn't have a functional impact anywhere. That will also shrink the
series a bit, and we can rebase the following patches atop of that.

I'll review these in separate replies.

Thanks,
