Oops. I didn't stare hard enough as I walked the "grep" output
to just blindly add a new case everywhere for the new type.

Need to resolve the differences:
1) MEM_LRDDR3 only appears in one of the tables
2) edac_mem_types[] is exported from edac_mc.c and used
   by two drivers
3) mem_types[] is static in edac_mc_sysfs.c, but values
   are visible to user via sysfs
4) Strings are different between the two :-(

Since the drivers that use edac_mem_types[] only do so in edac_dbg()
output, I think it's safe to declare those strings as the non-canon
ones.

So the plan: copy the strings from mem_types[] to edac_mem_types[]
and then make edac_mc_sysfs.c pick up the exported list from edac_mc.c
instead of having its own static version.

Both files have the same build scope:

edac_core-y     := edac_mc.o edac_device.o edac_mc_sysfs.o

so there shouldn't be any weird dependency problems.
