I don't get what you are trying to say. CONFIG_EDAC_MPC85XX is
enabled in the that config already. It's just that the mentioned
commit broke it because it removed the "select RAS", while
EDAC depends on it. So yeah, up to that commit it was always
enabled in that particular config.

Still, it's already enabled in that config and it somewhat recently
got IMX9 support, so I guess NXP is interested in keeping it.

That being said, I have the hardware, but right now I don't have
much time personally. The best I could do is "Odd Fixes". (I also
have two pending patches for that edac driver, yet to be posted to
the ML).
