What is that flag needed for at all?

There are two possibilities:

1. ghes_probe() succeeds. ghes_edac loads properly and other drivers use
ghes_get_devices() to know when to load.

2. ghes_probe() fails and that is caught during platform testing of all
those platforms who wish to use ghes_edac. BIOS is fixed and goto 1.

No need for funky flags whatsoever.
