powerpc/eeh: rename EEH from "extended" to "enhanced" error handling
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
IBM online documentation for EEH uses "extended error handling" and
"enhanced error handling" to refer to the same thing, in different
places.  The only place mentioning it as "enhanced error handling" in the
kernel is the MAINTAINERS file, and it's "extended" in some documentation.

IBM originally defined EEH as "enhanced error handling", so standardise
all mentions of EEH to use that term.

The IBM POWER-based pSeries and iSeries computers include PCI bus

reporting a large variety of PCI bus error conditions. These features

hardware features allow PCI bus errors to be cleared and a PCI
card to be "rebooted", without also having to reboot the operating
