While of course safe, this is not strictly necessary as the
maximum length of any edac_layer_name is 8 bytes.

drivers/edac/edac_mc.c:const char *edac_layer_name[] = {
drivers/edac/edac_mc.c- [EDAC_MC_LAYER_BRANCH] = "branch",
drivers/edac/edac_mc.c- [EDAC_MC_LAYER_CHANNEL] = "channel",
drivers/edac/edac_mc.c- [EDAC_MC_LAYER_SLOT] = "slot",
drivers/edac/edac_mc.c- [EDAC_MC_LAYER_CHIP_SELECT] = "csrow",
drivers/edac/edac_mc.c- [EDAC_MC_LAYER_ALL_MEM] = "memory",
drivers/edac/edac_mc.c-};

And name is:

		char name[80];

I suppose name[80] could be changed to name[32] or so
at the same time to reduce stack usage.

Maybe name should be moved into the loop too.

I think name should be [20] since len("fake_inject_") is 12 and maximum 
length of any edac_layer_name is 7 bytes. In addition, for moving the
declaration of name inside the loop we need to compile the source in 
C99 mode.

Thanx

You need to read the c90 spec.
