Thanks for raising this.
Although most of the series implements RTAS error injection for pseries,
it also updates the generic EEH error types used through the 
|VFIO_EEH_PE_INJECT_ERR|interface.
Userspace passes the generic |EEH_ERR_TYPE_32|or |EEH_ERR_TYPE_64|value 
through VFIO.
On PowerNV, |pnv_eeh_err_inject()|must translate that generic EEH value 
to the corresponding
platform-specific value:
|EEH_ERR_TYPE_32 -> OPAL_ERR_INJECT_TYPE_IOA_BUS_ERR EEH_ERR_TYPE_64 -> 
OPAL_ERR_INJECT_TYPE_IOA_BUS_ERR64|
Without this translation, the generic error types introduced for the 
VFIO/EEH interface would
be passed directly to OPAL and could be interpreted incorrectly.
I have clarified this dependency in the v3 cover letter and PowerNV 
patch description:
[PATCH v3 5/5] powerpc/powernv: Map generic EEH error types to OPAL types
