Thanks for helping debug the issue and taking the useful dmesg log.
From the dmesg log, the ECC error log register of this SoC contained the
invalid error value ~0, resulting in a flood of invalid error reports in polling mode.

@Ramses & @John,
Can you please apply the attached fix patch and see whether it fixes the issue?
Thanks!

Subject: [PATCH 1/1] EDAC/igen6: Fix the flood of invalid error reports

The ECC_ERROR_LOG register of certain SoCs may contain the invalid value
~0, which results in a flood of invalid error reports in polling mode.

Fix the flood of invalid error reports by skipping the invalid ECC error
log value ~0.

I just booted into a kernel with that patch applied and I'm not getting the errors anymore, so that seems to fix the issue for me indeed!

Thanks a bunch!

Thank you for your testing.

I'm waiting a bit for John's test result (if he has the chance to test it). 
After that, I'll post the fix path to the EDAC mailing list.

Confirmed, your patch fixed the flood experienced with 6.13.2-arch1-1 on my Beelink EQ12 (N100). Many thanks.
