First of all, thanks for your comments.
The only difference between ZynqMP and i.MX8MP is the interrupt register, because I didn't find DDR QOS Interrupt registers as ZynqMP used in synopsys DDRC Databook, instead, it use ECC Clear Register to enable or disable the ce/ue interrupts. (In synopsys ddrc databook, the name of this register is ECCCTL, maybe it is better to rename the register in this driver form ECCCLR to ECCCTL to avoid misunderstanding, but the description of this register in databook is ECC Clear Register. I'm also confused.)
Actually I have no idea about DDR_QOS_IRQ since I can't find it in synopsys DDRC Databook, I guess it maybe the private register of ZynqMP?
Or ZynqMP and i.MX8MP use different version of synopsys DDRC Databook? But expect the interrupt register, all the other registers are the same.

As talked above, I think i.MX8MP uses the general interrupt feature of the IP since it use the common register ECCCTL. And the DDR_QOS_IRQ maybe the feature of the IP or ZynqMP. But I'm not very sure. So should I still describe it in the DT?

Actually I enable or disable CE/UE interrupts in one function because I followed the way ZynqMP do.
If it needed, I can separate CE/UE interrupts into different enable or disable functions.

As explained above, the name of the register is actually ECCCTL, but the description is ECC Clear Register in databook, and it can enable/disable interrupts.

In intr_handler(), when it calls intr_handler_imx8mp(), it uses return intr_handler_imx8mp(), so p_data->get_error_info() will only be executed once.

Same as above, this will be called only once.

Yes, you are right. Because Zynqmp only use ECC_CLR_OFST register to clear CE/UE error flags and counts, so it has no effect on Zynqmp interrupts when it write 0 to this register. But for i.MX8MP, wirte 0 to ECC_CLR_OFST will disable i.MX8MP CE/UE interrupt, so here need re-enable the interrupts.

Do you mean I should add a interrupt handler function in synps_platform_data, then use p_data->intr_handler in devm_request_irq() to pass on different interrupt handlers for ZynqMP and i.MX8MP?

I'm not sure if Zynq platform support LPDDR4.
And I don't think it's needed for all the three platform(Zynq/ZynqMP/i.MX8MP) to support the new memory type, mci->mtype_cap only represent the synopsys_edac driver can support this new type(for i.MX8MP part). What do you think?

The most part of zynqmp_get_error_info() and intr_handler() functions are same useful for i.MX8MP, so do you mean I should add new functions through platform data instead change the ZynqMP functions?
