Hi,

Future AMD SOCs will support the ACPI Platform Health Assessment Table
(PHAT) to export an extensible set of platform health related telemetry
through Firmware Version and Firmware Health Data Records.

The table will also export the Reset Reason Health Record which highlights
the cause of the last system reset in case of both expected and unexpected
events. Vendor-specific data capturing the underlying state of the system
during reset will also be exported through the record.

As such, the table, in general, provides important debugging information,
supplementing the existing error reporting mechanisms on the platform viz.
BERT, CPER, etc., especially when debugging unexpected resets.[1]

With that end in view, we developed this tool for parsing the PHAT table
on SOCs that support it. However, we were somewhat confused about existing,
appropriate projects through which this tool can be shared.

Any recommendations on / pointers to projects through which this tool can be
shared with end users? Will personally work with the project maintainers to
have this tool incorporated there.

TIA!
