That's interesting. I did a grep over all 16944 GPL licensed files with an SPDX

785 of them have a license text while 16159 don't.

Goes to show that we're still in the process of converting stuff to SPDX.

When stripping off aspeed_edac_, some static function names will become quite
"bare-bone":

aspeed_edac_init(), aspeed_edac_exit(), aspeed_edac_probe(),
aspeed_edac_remove(), aspeed_edac_of_match(), aspeed_edac_isr(),
aspeed_edac_config_irq().

So namespaced function names we normally use for globally visible
symbols and those are not but only driver-specific. So, for example,

aspeed_edac_config_irq()

is a mouthful, at least to me, and not needed. config_irq(), OTOH, is
clear at a very quick glance.

The others, aspeed_edac_init(), etc, you could call aspeed_init(),
aspeed_exit() or so.

But since you're going to be stare at that code, this was just a
suggestion. Your call. :)

Does your suggestion also apply to static variables? E.g. aspeed_edac_regmap,
aspeed_edac_regmap_config, aspeed_edac_driver? Also, here some variable names
would become quite "bare-bone".

Same as above.

HTH.
