The doesn't read well to me. I saw this as saying "bits 47:44 of the InstanceHi register". Also, the name of the field is "InstanceIdHi" in the documentation.

I think it'd be more clear to say "available in MCA_IPID[47:44] (InstanceIdHi)" or something similar.

Why u32? Why not u16 to match topology_die_id() or int to match decode_dram_ecc()?
[naveenk:] Done, used int.

If decode_dram_ecc() is set, then this will call it on every MCA error that comes in. Rather we only want to call it on DRAM ECC errors.

You could do something like this:

	if (decode_dram_ecc && xec == 0) {
		u32 node_id = 0;

		if (bank_type == SMCA_UMC)
			node_id = XXX;
		else if (bank_type == SMCA_UMC_V2)
			node_id = YYY;
		else
			return;

		decode_dram_ecc(node_id, m);
	}

This is just an example. Maybe you can save an indentation level by negating those conditions and returning early, etc.
[naveenk:] modified the ladder.

[naveenk:] Thank you.
