upstream 861e6ed667c83d64a42b0db41a22d6b4de4e913f commit

... and use the single edac_subsys object returned from
subsys_system_register(). The idea is to have a single bus
and multiple devices on it.

Why is this a patch for the stable trees?  What problem does it solve?

Hi Greg

With this patch , we are removing per-MC bus, this removes dependency on value of max number of controllers (EDAC_MAX_MCS) which is hardcoded to 2 * MAX_NUMNODES  in all stable versions of kernel. 

On two nodes system MAX_NUMNODES value is ‘1’ , so value of max number of memory controller becomes ‘2’, this patch fixes this issue when there are only 2 nodes on the system and number of memory controllers are more than ‘2'

You basically repeated what you had written already.

But what is this fixing? Some platform of yours or what? Why does it
need to go to stable?

Btw, please do not top-post and reply under the quoted text like all of
us do.

Thx.

Certain MIPS platform can have 2 nodes and number of memory controllers can be more than '2' .

for above condition, if
#define EDAC_MAX_MCS 2 * MAX_NUMNODES,
it fails in this function edac_mc_add_mc_with_groups
in below condition
if (mci->mc_idx >= EDAC_MAX_MCS) {
pr_warn_once("Too many memory controllers: %d\n", mci->mc_idx);
return -ENODEV;
}
That is why this fix is needed.

What fix?

I see no patch in this email, nor do I see a git commit id anywhere :(

Totally confused,
