That's covers everything but Hannes arguments. I don't think that
adding just one more device_create_file() on a driver that creates
dozens (or hundreds) of sys nodes, depending on the number of DIMMS
on the system would make it any worse.

[PATCH EDAC] edac: only create sdram_scrub_rate where supported

Currently, sdram_scrub_rate sysfs node is created even if the device
doesn't support get/set the scub rate. Change the logic to only
create this device node when the operation is supported.
