The CPU is called "Falkor", not "FLKR", and we're not coming up with an
ACPI table name...

The ARM Ltd. erratum numbers are global to all parts, so we don't
include the part name. Is the 1003 erratum number specific to Falkor?

If it's global, you could use QCOM_ERRATUM_1003 instead.

Otherwise, QCOM_FALKOR_ERRATUM_1003 is preferable.

Thanks,
Mark.
