Thanks for the ack!

Btw, I've introduced the bug, on this changeset:
	http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/mchehab/linux-edac.git;a=commit;h=3b6909be050f03366322b0d5b45d38eedee77574

So, it is my moral duty to fix it ;)

Btw, I'd appreciate if you could test the EDAC driver on tile after that
series. It makes the edac core more flexible to represent the location of
the broken memory on the way the memory controller works, in order to
put its fingers at the Field Repleaceable Unit (FRU) - like a DIMM stick.
It should be easy (and it probably makes sense on embedded hardware) to
add there a way to report each DRAM memory is broken.

The entire series is at:
	git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mchehab/linux-edac.git hw_events_v7

Thank you!
Mauro

Thanks,
Mauro
