Yes. This is a common issue at the EDAC core: on several places, it calls the
edac debug macros (DEBUGF0...DEBUGF4) passing a __func__ as an argument, while
the debug macros already handles that. I suspect that, in the past, the __func__
were not at the macros, but some patch added it there, and forgot to fix the
occurrences of its call.
The patch that added it is d357cbb445208 and you reviewed it.
And you wrote the patch that caused it.

This is something that needs to be reviewed at the entire EDAC core (and likely
at the drivers).
Looks like a job for a newbie to get her/his feet wet with kernel work.

I opted to not touch on this at the existing debug logic, as I think that the
better is to address all those issues on one separate patch, after fixing the
EDAC core bugs.
No,

you simply need to remove the __func__ argument in your newly added debug call:

                debugf2("%s: %d: dimm%zd (%d:%d:%d): row %d, chan %d\n", __func__,
                        i, (dimm - mci->dimms),
                        pos[0], pos[1], pos[2], row, chn);

And while you're at it, remove the rest of the __func__ arguments from
your newly added debugfX calls.
A single patch fixing this everywhere at drivers/edac is better and clearer than adding 
an unrelated fix on this patch. This is already complex enough to add more unrelated
things there.

Also, a simple perl/coccinelle script can replace all such __func__ occurrences 
on one shot.
