3286d3eb906c ("EDAC, sb_edac: Drop NUM_CHANNELS from 8 back to 4")
decreased NUM_CHANNELS from 8 to 4, but this is not enough for Knights
Landing which supports up to 6 channels.
This caused out-of-bounds writes to pvt->mirror_mode and pvt->tolm
variables which don't pay critical role on KNL code path, so the memory
corruption wasn't causing any visible driver failures.
The easiest way of fixing it is to change NUM_CHANNELS to 6. Do that.
An alternative solution would be to restructure the KNL part of the
driver to 2MC/3channel representation.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
