Re: [PATCH v7 1/3] edac: Add support for Amazon's Annapurna Labs L1 EDAC

Hi Hanna,

(This was still on my list. I've not seen a newer version, its not in next, and it still
applies, so:)

You need <linux/platform_device.h> for platform_device_register_simple().

What serialises these? You kick this off from on_each_cpu(), what stops two CPUs calling
this at the same time? 'edac_dev->counters.ce_count += count;' will go wrong in this case.

I think you need a spinlock around the edac_device_* calls that take edac_dev so that only
one occurs at a time.

(this goto has one user, meaning you can remove it by restructuring the code)

Unusually these are machine compatibles. It may be worth a comment that these are the
platforms which are known to have Cortex-A57/A72 configured with this support, and access
to the registers enabled by firmware.

root could be NULL here.

With the edac_device_handle_ce() race fixed:
