EDAC tree subject prefixes are of the format:

EDAC/<driver name>: Bla...

where "Bla starts with a capital letter".

What is "disable_intr support"?

I can figure it out when looking at the code but you need to make this
human-readable. For example

"Disable the error interrupt on Synopsys EDAC v3.x hardware"

Also, is it all caps V3.X or is it simply v3.x?

Not "need to change" but "change".

>From Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst:

"Describe your changes in imperative mood, e.g. "make xyzzy do frotz"
instead of "[This patch] makes xyzzy do frotz" or "[I] changed xyzzy
to do frotz", as if you are giving orders to the codebase to change
its behaviour."

Please have a look at that document.

Thx.
