Yes, we should. But, if you want to have two different drivers accessing
the hardware and have to build synchronization around it, I'm simply
putting the simplest solution on the table in case it is viable. If all
you want to do is report errors to dmesg, then you don't need the edac
stuff.

Yes, you can read error counts and DIMM layout. I'm adding a full dump
of sysfs on my machine at the end. Take a look at it and think whether
this could be something you could use/need/like.
But, if you have only one DIMM slot available on the hw (I'm not even
going to pretend to know your possible DIMM layouts) then maybe EDAC is
not needed at all - people would know which DIMM is at fault :-)
And so on and so on.

Yeah, it would probably be easier if you would point out first what you
want to use the edac interface for and we can tell you whether it's
already there/doable/makes sense, etc.
Thanks.
