I don't understand - I picked those up and are already queued for 5.5:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ras/ras.git/log/?h=edac-for-next

What is that patch for?

Are you saying, I should stick it before the two patches above so that
it gets backported to stable so that you have older kernels addressed?

But then the above ones won't apply anymore because

EDAC/altera: Use the Altera System Manager driver

removes s10_sdram_regmap_cfg.

What I can offer you is to remove the two patches and apply this one so
that it goes in next week. Then, you can send me the two rediffed after
5.5-rc1 is out. Ok?

What does Meng's SOB mean?
