Thanks!

Well, we're removing some lines from one file and adding them on another
one. Git is not smart enough to solve such conflicts automatically:

        CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in drivers/edac/edac_mc.c
        Recorded preimage for 'drivers/edac/edac_mc.c'
        Automatic merge failed; fix conflicts and then commit the result.

Anyway, I rebased my work on the top of your branch. The conflict
is now gone:

        
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/mchehab/linux-edac.git/log/?h=linux_next

You can see the generated documentation at:
        https://mchehab.fedorapeople.org/kernel_docs/admin-guide/ras.html
        (user and admin guide)
and:
        https://mchehab.fedorapeople.org/kernel_docs/driver-api/edac.html
        (kernel API)

However, rebasing over your tree showed a new documentation gap:
        ./include/linux/edac.h:144: warning: Enum value 'HW_EVENT_ERR_DEFERRED' 
not described in enum 'hw_event_mc_err_type'

    EDAC, amd64: Add Deferred Error type
    
    Currently, deferred errors are classified as correctable in EDAC. Add a
    new error type for deferred errors so that they are correctly reported
    to the user.

Yazen introduced a "deferred error" code (whatever it means), but didn't
document what's that. Unfortunately, the patch description is also
not clear enough about what a "deferred error" means or how userspace
is supposed to handle it.

Yazen,

Could you please send us a patch adding a proper description for this
new error code?

Thanks!
Mauro
