This looks ugly but, well, we could live with this.

However, I'd like to avoid having to extend this macro every time we get
a new spec released, like 6.1 defining another 80 or 84 etc. So, how
about we only update this when there is an actual change in the length?
Something like:

#define ACPI_MADT_GICC_LENGTH	({					\
	u8 length;							\
	if (ACPI_FADT_SPEC_VERSION < ACPI_FADT_SPEC_VERSION_6_0)	\
		length = 76;						\
	else								\
		length = 80;						\
	length;								\
})

or just:

#define ACPI_MADT_GICC_LENGTH	\
	(ACPI_FADT_SPEC_VERSION < ACPI_FADT_SPEC_VERSION_6_0 ? 76 : 80)

(the latter is simpler but may not look nice if we change it again in
6.1; though we could re-write this macro when needed, not a problem)
