Goes to show that we're still in the process of converting stuff to SPDX.

So namespaced function names we normally use for globally visible
symbols and those are not but only driver-specific. So, for example,

aspeed_edac_config_irq()

is a mouthful, at least to me, and not needed. config_irq(), OTOH, is
clear at a very quick glance.

The others, aspeed_edac_init(), etc, you could call aspeed_init(),
aspeed_exit() or so.

But since you're going to be stare at that code, this was just a
suggestion. Your call. :)

Same as above.

HTH.
