So a while ago you said that this driver is for the on chip memory
controller. Is it possible for such a system to have another memory
controller too for which another EDAC driver gets loaded?

Because the EDAC core - at least on x86 - assumes that a single driver
runs on the system and I don't think I've ever had the case where we
need multiple drivers. And in such case to audit it for concurrency
issues.

So I guess the question is, can a system have zynqmp_ocm_edac and say,
synopsys_edac or some other EDAC driver loaded at the same time?

Thx.
