Can you please add the patch author to CC next time, out of courtesy?
Thanks.

Have you even build-tested your patch:

drivers/edac/edac_mc_sysfs.c: In function ‘mci_sdram_scrub_rate_show’:
drivers/edac/edac_mc_sysfs.c:478: error: ‘date’ undeclared (first use in this function)
drivers/edac/edac_mc_sysfs.c:478: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
drivers/edac/edac_mc_sysfs.c:478: error: for each function it appears in.)
make[2]: *** [drivers/edac/edac_mc_sysfs.o] Error 1

Anyway, the EDAC document says that sdram_scrub_rate is
read/write and when writing you have to write -1 too. Care to fix
mci_sdram_scrub_rate_store too, test your patch properly and resend?

Thanks.
