Hi Yazen, Thanks for pointing to this commit. Yes I do remember.

Yes, we have offline decoding option in rasdaemon

For example:
$ rasdaemon -p --status 0xdc2040000000011b --ipid 0x0000609600092f00 --smca
2023-10-26 23:51:34 -0500, Unified Memory Controller (bank=0), mca: DRAM 
ECC error. Ext Err Code: 0 Memory Error 'mem-tx: generic read, tx: 
generic, level: L3/generic', mci: Error_overflow CECC, Locn: 
memory_channel=0,csrow=0, Error Msg: Corrected error, no action required.

Observed the error string "mca: DRAM ECC error. Ext Err Code: 0"


Also, we can pass particular family/model to decode, Ex:for MI300A

$ rasdaemon -p --status 0xdc2040000000011b --ipid 0x0000609600092f00 
--smca --family 0x19 --model 0x90 --bank 19
2023-10-26 23:52:09 -0500, Unified Memory Controller (bank=19), mca: 
DRAM On Die ECC error. Ext Err Code: 0 Memory Error 'mem-tx: generic 
read, tx: generic, level: L3/generic', mci: Error_overflow CECC, Locn: 
memory_die_id=1, Error Msg: Corrected error, no action required.

Observed the error string as "mca: DRAM On Die ECC error. Ext Err Code: 0"

Thanks for the inputs. I will add the steps in commit message and in 
Documentation as well.
