SubjectRe: [PATCH v6 5/8] EDAC/ghes: Make ghes_edac a proper module to remove the dependency on ghes

Yes, and what happens if ghes_dev is NULL?

The other drivers would do in their init function:

struct list_head *ghes_devs;

ghes_devs = ghes_get_devices();
if (ghes_devs)
return -ENODEV;

/* Continue init */

and then load in that case because user has disabled GHES and thus no
ghes_edac either. So the platform-specific one loads.

Right?
