[PATCH v5 4/4] memory: Add ECC properties

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Some memories provide ECC detection and/or correction. For software which
wants to check memory, it is helpful to see which regions provide this
feature.

Add this as a property of the /memory nodes, since it presumably follows
the hardware-level memory system.

Changes in v5:
- Redo to make this property specific to ECC
- Provide properties both for detection and correction

Changes in v3:
- Add new patch to update the /memory nodes
