And ECC registers are in the DDR controllers?

I would expect the DT to have 4 DDR controller nodes and probably 2
bridges. The memory bridges have control registers?

Presumably the registers for ECC are wired to some other block and not
CPU registers?

Shared interrupts are easily supported, but implicit in the DT.
Otherwise, it seems this block is independent from the rest, correct?
