   As far as I know it's only for error correction within the RAM   
   controller, and not reported to the OS. There is a possibility the SOC   
   might know about it via some proprietary Broadcom mechanism.   
      
   I have found a webpage where some idiots attempting to fry a Pi 5 by   
   running AI on it without a cooler got a fatal ECC error, but my money is   
   on they just hallucinated the entire thing.
