Okay, sounds good! Will change it to something like below:

scnprintf(s, 100, "Cs: 0x%x Bank Grp: 0x%x Bank Addr: 0x%x Row: 0x%x Column: 0x%x RankMul: 0x%x SubChannel: 0x%x",
          err->dram_addr->chip_select,
          err->dram_addr->bank_group,
          err->dram_addr->bank_addr,
          err->dram_addr->row_addr,
          err->dram_addr->col_addr,
          err->dram_addr->rank_mul,
          err->dram_addr->sub_ch);
