I have checked with Punnaiah that this is Synopsys DDR memory controller.
Zynq is based on 1.4 version with some customization.
It means I think reasonable solution is
call it drivers/edac/synopsys_edac.c
rename zynq_ in driver to synopsys_ and
use xlnx,zynq-ddrc-1.00.a compatible string because zynq is not using
clean synopsys version.

I am not getting point why you don't like 1.00.a suffix here.
Because of historical point of view compatible strings should be different
for early silicon, silicon v1, silicon v2, silicon v3, etc
but we haven't used it at all that's why we can use xilinx scheme
which we are using for our soft IPs.

Does it sound reasonable?

Thanks,
Michal
