I'm currently without any systems where I could try to reproduce it, as
I moved to a new job at Samsung, and I'm still in the process of getting
access to the corporate facilities and to get the needed hardware.
The hardware I currently own doesn't support EDAC.

So, I doubt that I would be able to touch on that in the next couple
weeks or so.

If you're urging for a fix, feel free to propose a patch.
Otherwise, I'll take care of it as soon as I receive the hardware.

Regards,
Mauro
