Unfortunately, that is correct. :-\

I'd be interested as to why. Because decoding addresses is amd64_edac *core* functionality. We can stick it in drivers/edac/mce_amd.c but I'd like to hear what those valid reasons are, not to use the driver which is supposed to do that anyway.
Thanks for explaining - it is all clear now.
