Sure. I expanded the v5 commit message to explain that 
eeh_pe_inject_err() receives generic EEH userspace ABI values, while the 
PowerNV firmware interface uses OPAL-specific error types.

The backend now explicitly maps the generic EEH type to the 
corresponding OPAL error type rather than relying on the two sets of 
constants having identical numeric values.

Agreed. Renamed it to opal_err_type in v5.
