In any case, after looking at Mauro's docs changes:

https://lkml.kernel.org/r/cover.1477765574.git.mchehab@s-opensource.com

you'd need to add those new sysfs files to the "SYSFS INTERFACE" section
of wherever Documentation/edac.txt ends up. I believe it is:

Documentation/{edac.txt => admin-guide/ras.rst}

I believe the easiest would be if you redo this patch ontop of his
changes.

Thanks.
