The CDAT table is very similar to ACPI tables when it comes to sub-table and entry structures. The helper functions can be also used to parse the CDAT table. Add support to the helper functions to deal with an external CDAT table, and also handle the endieness since CDAT can be processed by a BE host. Export a function cdat_table_parse() for CXL driver to parse a CDAT table. In order to minimize ACPICA code changes, __force is being utilized to deal with the case of a big endian (BE) host parsing a CDAT. All CDAT data structure variables are being force casted to __leX as appropriate. Cc: Rafael J.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
