The following patch dos the debug cleanup. I'll add at the end of my tree.

Subject: [PATCH] edac_mc: Cleanup per-dimm_info debug messages
The edac_mc_alloc() routine allocates one dimm_info device for all
possible memories, including the non-filled ones. The debug messages
there are somewhat confusing. So, cleans them, by moving the code
that prints the memory location to edac_mc, and using it on both
edac_mc_sysfs and edac_mc.
After this patch, a dimm-based memory controller will print the debug
info as:
[ 728.430828] EDAC DEBUG: edac_mc_dump_dimm: dimm2: channel 0 slot 2 mapped as virtual row 0, chan 2
[ 728.430834] EDAC DEBUG: edac_mc_dump_dimm: dimm->label = 'mc#0channel#0slot#2'
[ 728.430839] EDAC DEBUG: edac_mc_dump_dimm: dimm->nr_pages = 0x0
[ 728.430846] EDAC DEBUG: edac_mc_dump_dimm: dimm->grain = 0
[ 728.430850] EDAC DEBUG: edac_mc_dump_dimm: dimm->nr_pages = 0x0
(a rank-based memory controller would print, instead, "rank2"
on the above debug info)
