This is an attempt to revive [v5] series. I have attempted to address comments and suggestions from Marc Zyngier since [v5]. Additionally, I have limited the support only for A72 processors per [v8] discussion. Testing the driver on a problematic A72 SoC has led to the detection of Correctable Errors (CEs). Below are logs captured from the problematic SoC during various boot instances. [ 876.896022] EDAC DEVICE0: CE: cortex-arm64-edac instance: cpu2 block: L1 count: 1 'L1-D Data RAM correctable error(s) on CPU 2' [ 3700.978086] EDAC DEVICE0: CE: cortex-arm64-edac instance: cpu2 block: L1 count: 1 'L1-D Data RAM correctable error(s) on CPU 2' [ 976.956158] EDAC DEVICE0: CE: cortex-arm64-edac instance: cpu2 block: L1 count: 1 'L1-D Data RAM correctable error(s) on CPU 2' [ 1427.933606] EDAC DEVICE0: CE: cortex-arm64-edac instance: cpu2 block: L1 count: 1 'L1-D Data RAM correctable error(s) on CPU 2' [ 192.959911] EDAC DEVICE0: CE: cortex-arm64-edac instance: cpu2 block: L1 count: 1 'L1-D Data RAM correctable error(s) on CPU 2' Testing our product kernel involved adding the 'edac-enabled' property to CPU nodes in the DTS. For mainline sanity checks, we tested under QEMU by extracting the default DTB and modifying the DTS to include the 'edac-enabled' property. We then verified the presence of /sysfs nodes for CE and UE counts for the emulated A72 CPUs. Our primary focus is on A72. We have a significant number of A72-based systems in our fleet, and timely replacements via monitoring CEs will be instrumental in managing them effectively. I am eager to hear your suggestions and feedback on this series.

It seems you're new to kernel development:
From: Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst
"Don't get discouraged - or impatient
------------------------------------
After you have submitted your change, be patient and wait. Reviewers are
busy people and may not get to your patch right away.
Once upon a time, patches used to disappear into the void without comment,
but the development process works more smoothly than that now. You should
receive comments within a week or so; if that does not happen, make sure
that you have sent your patches to the right place. Wait for a minimum of
one week before resubmitting or pinging reviewers - possibly longer during
busy times like merge windows."
And we have a merge window right now.
Instead of sending patches every day, you should spend some time perusing the
documentation about how this all works:
https://kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/development-process.html
Thx.

Our goal was to provide you with the latest patch series, ensuring all comments were addressed and ready for your review at your convenience. Please share your feedback so I can address it accordingly. Thank you for your time. Vijay
