Looking at that a bit - I think the right thing to do is to remove that
sifive_l2_cache.c file from the EDAC-SIFIVE file pattern because the
edac driver is simply using the L2 thing to register on its notifier
chain, i.e., using an external facility, like all the drivers do. And the
l2_cache thing is not part of the edac driver.

Thx.
