I opted to do it a little bit different to stay closer to ACPI 6.5
18.3.2.7.2. - Event Notification For Generic Error Sources.

There, it is actually talking about a General Purpose Event (GPE).
Current ACPI spec doesn't mention "GED", so maybe such term was fixed
on some previous ACPI spec revision.

Basically, it currently mentions:
	- error device
	- GPE / General Purpose Event
	- Generic Hardware Error Source Structure 

I guess Linux crafted the term Hardware Error device by mixing
those.

As we don't need to really preserve such names here, as this appears
only at the patch description, I opted to rewrite the patch description
to:

    arm/virt: Wire up GPIO error source for ACPI / GHES
    
    Creates a hardware event device to support General Purpose
    Event (GPE) as specified at ACPI 6.5 specification at 18.3.2.7.2:
    https://uefi.org/specs/ACPI/6.5/18_Platform_Error_Interfaces.html#event-notification-for-generic-error-sources
    using HID PNP0C33.
    
    The PNP0C33 device is used to report hardware errors to
    the bios via ACPI APEI Generic Hardware Error Source (GHES).
    
    It is aligned with Linux Kernel patch:
    https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/1272350481-27951-8-git-send-email-ying.huang@intel.com/

    Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+huawei@...nel.org>

Clearly associating "hardware event device" with ACPI GPE. That sounds
good enough to be stored at the git description associated with such
change.

I opted to use a different name there, using just error device,
together with the name of the PNP device. So:

	#define PNP0C33_ERROR_DEVICE "GEDD"

This is clear enough for people just looking at the driver, and
even clearer for people familiar with session 18.3.2.7.2 of the
ACPI spec.

I'll drop the extra brackets.

I'm also renaming this function/function call to run away from GED,
calling it as:

	 acpi_dsdt_add_error_device(scope);
