Okay...

Let me clarify a bit. I have one top level driver node and multiple
instance of subnodes -  4 MC, 4 L2/L1, 1 L3C, and 1 SoC EDAC for now.
The L3C many be multiple instance in the future. Just a note,  the way
EDAC looks up instance is by pointer of struct device. It doesn't need
anything more than that.
