Do we dump it when the CPU lockup is detected with this change ? If not,
we shouldn't claim that here.

Thanks for adding the comment here.

Do we support an implementation where only EDPCSR is implemented (0x1) ?
That should be quite straight forward by adding edcidsr_present.

Unused member ? It would be good to populate these (and any other information)
rather than, caching devid/devid1 (below).

We could use IS_ENABLED() here.

Are we safe calling %pS on the PC, when the PC offset in implementation defined ?

ultra minor nit: this could be also done as : "Width:%dbits" and drvdata->edvidsr & EDVISR_HW ? 64 : 32.
Avoids string literal.

nit: It would look nicer if you could use a variable for the per_cpu(debug_drvdata, cpu),
rather than repeating it every single line.

Actually, if mode == 0x01, pcsr is present, which we don't handle here.

We should make sure that there is no debug_drvdata already set for the CPU.
(e.g, if the cpu node is missing for two CPUs, we could end up in two drvdata
for CPU0 and thus leaking the memory allocated for the first one).
