Do you have any comments about this driver?Just a question: why do you have three .c files for something which does only error injection and nothing else AFAICT? Why isn't this part of altera_edac.c?
There are 2 files for doing the error injection (altera_l2_edac.c and altera_ocram_edac.c) and then 1 file for the irq handling and probe (altera_edac_mgr.c). The L2 cache and the On-Chip RAM drivers were based on the Calxeda L2 cache driver and when written as 2 separate files, the resulting code was very similar from the probe and error handling standpoint so the common code was combined (altera_edac_mgr.c). The Memory Controller model was used for the SDRAM EDAC (altera_edac.c) since it matches the DIMM model. The MC model didn't seem to fit the discrete memories like OCRAM and L2 cache (these files) so I used the EDAC device model which agreed with the Calxeda L2 cache driver. Should I move the EDAC Device probe and error handling from altera_edac_mgr.c to altera_edac.c? Can I mix the MC and Device models in the same file? Thanks for reviewing and for commenting. Thor
