You've told Medad one thing. I told him the complete opposite. Medad as
new submitter gets confused. And I don't want patch submitters to get
confused by review.

So, if you're unsure about a review feedback, don't give it pls.

Just think of the big picture: is my error message useful enough for
debugging or would I have to go and add more info to it so that I can
debug an issue?

Example:

There is

edac_dbg(3, "InterruptStatus : 0x%x\n", intr_status);

now.

Now, how about this?

edac_dbg(3, "dev: %s, id: %s: IRQ: %d, interrupt status: 0x%x\n",
mci->dev_name, mci->ctl_name, irq, intr_status);

Which one, do you think, is more helpful to a person trying to debug any
potential issue with the interrupt handler and the ECCs it is supposed
to issue?

Thx.
