Sure. Any suggestions for a name better than "sdramc:"?

It's probably worth adding the same label to armada-xp.dtsi and
armada-xp-98dx3236.dtsi.

The EDAC driver (which is default n) will not probe the device if ECC
has not been enabled so that should be safe.

Other than the EDAC driver the only other code that looks at this is in
arch/arm/mach-mvebu/pm.c and it almost seems like an omission that this
code is not active on armada-38x. The armada-38x platforms I have access
to don't use suspend/resume so I can't verify this.
