I understand this to mean that this header is shared by other projects?

If that's true, what compilers are processing this header? (i.e. so I
can scope my suggestions to things that all the compilers will be able
to deal with.)

How are edits of this file managed "upstream" from the Linux kernel?

Why does it have strange indentations like this:

uint8_t ledpin0;
uint8_t ledpin1;
uint8_t ledpin2;
uint8_t padding8_4;

uint8_t pllgfxclkspreadenabled;
uint8_t pllgfxclkspreadpercent;
uint16_t pllgfxclkspreadfreq;

uint8_t uclkspreadenabled;
uint8_t uclkspreadpercent;
uint16_t uclkspreadfreq;

Are these headers also shared between other projects?

What's needed to coordinate making these less redundant? (i.e. replacing
the "BOARD PARAMETERS" portion of PPTable_t with the associated
struct *_dpm_info_v* from atomfirmware.h?)

It sounds like it's unlikely that the headers will be able to change? If
that's true, it seems like a good idea to mark those headers very
clearly at the top with details like you describe here. Maybe something
like:

/*
* This header file is shared between VBIOS, Windows drivers, and Linux
* drivers. Any changes need to be well justified and coordinated with
* email@address...
*/

And in looking through these, I notice there's a typo in the Description:

header file of general definitions for OS nd pre-OS video drivers

How does this look as a work-around for now:
