It's probably easier if I take it.

However, just from a cursory look, it would need some scrubbing. There's stuff
like:

+ ps_sm->params.requested_address_range[0] = 0;
+ ps_sm->params.requested_address_range[1] = 0;
+ ps_sm->params.scrub_params_in &= ~RAS2_PATROL_SCRUB_SCHRS_IN_MASK;
+ ps_sm->params.scrub_params_in |= FIELD_PREP(RAS2_PATROL_SCRUB_SCHRS_IN_MASK,
+ ras2_ctx->scrub_cycle_hrs);
+ ps_sm->params.patrol_scrub_command = RAS2_START_PATROL_SCRUBBER;


which definitely needs shortening. There's no need for a wholly written out
"requested_address_range". I know variables should have meaningfull names but
writing fiction shouldn't be either.

+static int ras2_acpi_parse_table(struct acpi_table_header *pAcpiTable)

Yuck, CamelCase?!

And I'm pretty sure if I start looking more, I'll find more funky stuff.

HTH.
