This is not very readable.

> +	}

Both those hunks contain duplicated code which kinda wants to be an
inline function in cper.h which returns row_extended and gets called by
both sites. And then the call site can look very simple:

        if (mem_err->validation_bits & CPER_MEM_VALID_ROW)
                row = mem_err->row;

        /* add row extension */
        row |= cper_get_mem_extension();

        p += sprintf(p, "row:%d ", row);

with

static inline u32 cper_get_mem_extension(void)
{
	if (!(mem_err->validation_bits & CPER_MEM_VALID_ROW_EXT))
		return 0;

	return (mem_err->extended & CPER_MEM_EXT_ROW_MASK) << CPER_MEM_EXT_ROW_SHIFT;
}

Something along those lines...

Thx.
