Linus Torvalds 786262be60 Merge tag 'edac_updates_for_v7.3_rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ras/ras
Pull forgotten EDAC updates from Borislav Petkov:
 "Somewhat belated (and forgotten :-\) EDAC updates lineup for v7.3:

   - Mark the mpc85xx and ThunderX EDAC drivers as orphaned due to lack
     of access to hardware

   - Remove the unused fake error injection interface from the EDAC
     debugfs code due to potential races between logging a fake and a
     real hw error

   - edac_mc_sysfs: Use sysfs_emit_at() for proper bounds checking

   - Remove Mark Gross from maintainer entries and move him to CREDITS

   - Load the AMD address translation library only on systems which can
     actually make use of it (have ECC memory) instead of on every AMD
     Zen system out there

   - In edac_altera, detect the SoC variant using the ECC manager's
     compatible string instead of the build architecture to select the
     correct interrupt layout, and remove leftover architecture-specific
     ifdeffery from the double-bit error handling path

   - Add a new reviewer for the Xilinx EDAC drivers

   - Unify address translation logic in Intel client EDAC drivers igen6
     and ie31200 along with detecting memory controller counts at boot
     time instead of relying on hardcoded, platform specific numbers.
     Also, fix a bunch of issues in them; work by Qiuxu Zhuo

   - Add support for a new Intel processor platform Starfire which is a
     derivative of Panther Lake SoCs

   - The usual cleanups and fixlets all over"

* Join the community: https://lore.kernel.org/

Essential Documentation
-----------------------

All users should be familiar with:

* Building requirements: Documentation/process/changes.rst
* Code of Conduct: Documentation/process/code-of-conduct.rst
* License: See COPYING

Documentation can be built with make htmldocs or viewed online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
