And you wrote the patch that caused it.

A single patch fixing this everywhere at drivers/edac is better and clearer 
than adding 
an unrelated fix on this patch. This is already complex enough to add more 
unrelated
things there.

Also, a simple perl/coccinelle script can replace all such __func__ occurrences 
on one shot.
