I think the macro includes the verification for the structures and
lengths correction, it it does not correct, it will breadk the loop.
I do not see your modifcation does some special validation, it almost
smilar with the macro does.
in all the code there are three functions to do the iteration.
ghes_do_proc/cper_estatus_print/cper_estatus_check
the cper_estatus_check function is especial, because its  purpose is
to validate CPER, so it will  check every length. but not all
function's purpose is to check, for example cper_estatus_print, as
shown below, so we can use this macro to clear the code. Now we can
see there are two function use it, but in the future, if want to
iterate CPER, we can use the macro if it does not want to do special
thing.

#define apei_estatus_for_each_section(estatus, section) \
for (section = (struct acpi_hest_generic_data *)(estatus + 1); \
(void *)section - (void *)(estatus + 1) < estatus->data_length; \
------> here it will check whether length is valid, if not,  it will
break the loop
section = acpi_hest_get_next(section))


Original code:
void cper_estatus_print(const char *pfx,
   const struct acpi_hest_generic_status *estatus)
{
 struct acpi_hest_generic_data *gdata;
 unsigned int data_len;
 int sec_no = 0;
 char newpfx[64];
 __u16 severity;
 severity = estatus->error_severity;
 if (severity == CPER_SEV_CORRECTED)
  printk("%s%s\n", pfx,
         "It has been corrected by h/w "
         "and requires no further action");
 printk("%s""event severity: %s\n", pfx, cper_severity_str(severity));
 data_len = estatus->data_length;
 gdata = (struct acpi_hest_generic_data *)(estatus + 1);
 snprintf(newpfx, sizeof(newpfx), "%s%s", pfx, INDENT_SP);
 while (data_len >= acpi_hest_get_size(gdata)) {
  cper_estatus_print_section(newpfx, gdata, sec_no);
  data_len -= acpi_hest_get_record_size(gdata);
  gdata = acpi_hest_get_next(gdata);
  sec_no++;
 }
}

Can change to:
void cper_estatus_print(const char *pfx,
   const struct acpi_hest_generic_status *estatus)
{
 struct acpi_hest_generic_data *gdata;
 int sec_no = 0;
 char newpfx[64];
 __u16 severity;
 severity = estatus->error_severity;
 if (severity == CPER_SEV_CORRECTED)
  printk("%s%s\n", pfx,
         "It has been corrected by h/w "
         "and requires no further action");
 printk("%s""event severity: %s\n", pfx, cper_severity_str(severity));
 snprintf(newpfx, sizeof(newpfx), "%s%s", pfx, INDENT_SP);
 apei_estatus_for_each_section {
  cper_estatus_print_section(newpfx, gdata, sec_no);
  sec_no++;
 }
}
