ok. thanks.

I agree with you that we can use shorter name.
I have checked this with Punnaiah and I can't see any problem to have
more edac drivers in the system.
For zynq there is primary ddr controller which is target by this driver.
Then we are talking about L2 in another thread.
Because zynq has programmable logic next to chip where you can add
soft memory controller (we have these hw designs) on the same bus
then there could be others edac drivers.
I would say how many you like till pins on the package.

Thanks,
Michal
