This "driver" was supposed to implement the handle-hw-errors-in-fw glue crap. The thing is, no one has been using it properly because there's not even a single firmware vendor who has managed to produce a working fw glue reporting errors properly. At least I haven't seen one.
Which means, no one is really using this. And now ARM start using it for real and shit hits fan.
And I'd love to fix it but finding a box which *actually* has a usable GHES glue is, as I mentioned above, almost impossible so testing fixes would be hard. I need to figure out something...
Thanks.
