edac: i5400 fix csrow mapping
The i5400 EDAC driver has several bugs with chip-select row computation which most likely lead to bugs in detailed error reporting. Attempts to contact the authors have gone mostly unanswered so I am presenting my diff here. I do not subscribe to lkml and would appreciate being kept in the cc. The most egregious problem was miscalculating the addresses of MTR registers after register 0 by assuming they are 32bit rather than 16. This caused the driver to miss half of the memories. Most motherboards tend to have only 8 dimm slots and not 16, so this may not have been noticed before. Further, the row calculations multiplied the number of dimms several times, ultimately ending up with a maximum row of 32. The chipset only supports 4 dimms in each of 4 channels, so csrow could not be higher than 4 unless you use a row per-rank with dual-rank dimms. I opted to eliminate this behavior as it is confusing to the user and the error reporting works by slot and not rank. This gives a much clearer view of memory by slot and channel in /sys.
