As we are moving the dram_type cached date from pvt to umc for family >=

Who would be that comment for? People who are looking at the code, so
that they know which is which?

Yes, it could be a hint about the use case of this field.
Of course we could be more complete and also comment the umc field use in this same structure that depends on the family higher or lower than 17 too.
But I had the impression that the creation of a new dram_type cache field would be clarified by a comment on the old location, that's it.
It's up to Yazen and you to include or not  this small addition about dram_type.


Something like that for example:

@@ -385,7 +385,7 @@
     /* place to store error injection parameters prior to issue */
     struct error_injection injection;

-    /* cache the dram_type */
+    /* cache the dram_type for family<0x17 */
     enum mem_type dram_type;

     struct amd64_umc *umc;    /* UMC registers */


Just a suggestion.
The code looks good to me.

Btw, I'd appreciate it if you do not top-post.

Thx.

Sure, sorry.
