That would seem like the best idea. But I don't really know this code
well enough myself, and I really need to get this code out of the
forced on RISC-V codebase as some SOCs I'm working with simply don't
have the memory for it..

So unless someone signs up to do a per-IP block edac drivers instead
very quickly I'd still like to see something like this go into 5.4
for now.
