Thank you for splitting it out. I'm not too happy about having
this driver in drivers/soc, as I still think it deserves to be in
a real subsystem with a generalized user interface.

I had hoped it would fit into EDAC, but I can understand that
this is not a great fit in the end. Since the driver has no
stable (ioctl or sysfs) interface but only a debugfs one that
can change at any time, my hope is that we can come up with
something better in the long run, e.g. when another SoC family
has a similar requirement and we create a more generic and
stable interface.

In the meantime, we can keep it in drivers/soc, so it's now
merged into the arm/drivers branch.
