Imported from Linux commit b6cfb277378ef831c0fa84bcff5049307294adc6:

     The BAD_MADT_ENTRY() macro is designed to work for all of the subtables
     of the MADT.  In the ACPI 5.1 version of the spec, the struct for the
     GICC subtable (struct acpi_madt_generic_interrupt) is 76 bytes long; in
     ACPI 6.0, the struct is 80 bytes long.  But, there is only one definition
     in ACPICA for this struct -- and that is the 6.0 version.  Hence, when
     BAD_MADT_ENTRY() compares the struct size to the length in the GICC
     subtable, it fails if 5.1 structs are in use, and there are systems in
     the wild that have them.

     This patch adds the BAD_MADT_GICC_ENTRY() that checks the GICC subtable
     only, accounting for the difference in specification versions that are
     possible.  The BAD_MADT_ENTRY() will continue to work as is for all other
     MADT subtables.

     This code is being added to an arm64 header file since that is currently
     the only architecture using the GICC subtable of the MADT.  As a GIC is
     specific to ARM, it is also unlikely the subtable will be used elsewhere.
