[PATCH v3 1/3] ACPI : introduce macros for using the ACPI specification version

[Al Stone]

Add the __ACPI_FADT_SPEC_VERSION() helper macro to build a proper version
number from a major and minor revision number.  Add also macros that use
the helper to construct the current version from the values in the FADT
(i.e., ACPI_FADT_SPEC_VERSION) and both the 5.1 and 6.0 versions.

These macros are added in order to simplify retrieving and comparing ACPI
specification version numbers, since this is becoming a more frequent need.
In particular, there are some architectures that require at least a certain
version of the spec, and there are differences in some structure sizes that
have changed with recent versions but can only be tracked by spec version
number.

Fixes: aeb823bbacc2 (ACPICA: ACPI 6.0: Add changes for FADT table.)
