Sorry for being vague there, I'd seen it get merged.

If having it covered via some generic MAINTAINERS entries is OK for the 
EDAC folks then that's fine with me, I just don't want to get into a 
spot where this driver is going to get removed because nobody's more 
explicitly maintaining it.  These SiFive boards are still the only ones 
that run a normal-smelling upstream Linux (at least until we can get the 
D1 issues sorted out, which is hopefully soon) and I'd hate to start 
dropping stuff if we don't need to.

So if it's fine for the EDAC forks to have things in the state the are 
after this patch was merged, that's great for me.
