Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 1/2] ACPI/PPTT: Add support for ACPI 6.3 thread flag

Hi Jeremy,

Few nits below.

Also, I had a look at the other PPTT processor flags that were introduced
in 6.3, and the only other one being used is ACPI_LEAF_NODE in
acpi_pptt_leaf_node(). However that one already has a handle on the table
header, so the check_acpi_cpu_flag() isn't of much help there.

I don't believe the other existing flags will benefit from the helper since
they are more about describing the PPTT tree, but I think it doesn't hurt
to keep it around for potential future flags.

Nit: strictly speaking we're not returning the flag value but its mask
applied to the flags field. I don't think anyone will care about getting
the actual flag value, but it should be made obvious in the doc:

-ENOENT if ...
0 if the flag isn't set
> 0 if it is set.
