No, just slap printks before every return statement, like:

        if (!devres_open_group(&op->dev, fsl_mc_err_probe, GFP_KERNEL)) {
		pr_err("%s: Error devres_open_group()\n", __func__);
                return -ENOMEM;
	}

so that you can get closer to the place where it fails.

Yeah, see if it even gets called at all:

int fsl_mc_err_probe(struct platform_device *op)
{
        struct mem_ctl_info *mci;
        struct edac_mc_layer layers[2];
        struct fsl_mc_pdata *pdata;
        struct resource r;
        u32 sdram_ctl;
        int res;

	pr_err("%s: entry\n", __func__);

Probably because it doesn't reach the point where it registers an IRQ
handler...

You should, AFAICT, if it loads and registers stuff properly.

You should be able to simply write to *sysfs*. Somewhere under
/sys/devices/system/edac/...

fsl_mc_inject_data_{lo,hi}_store simply writes the low and high inject
register.

Btw, looking at it, York, this whole injection functionality needs to
be behind CONFIG_EDAC_DEBUG because a production driver shouldn't have
injection capability.

Hmmm.
