Sure, will drop it.

Ok. Will let it stick out.

Will move it at the top.

Sure, will be done.

Since now there won't be a need to teardown, I will stick with this
(bottom two function calls).

Will remove the prefix "sifive_edac_" on static functions wherever feasible.

Sure. Will keep it just "sifive_edac"

Sorry about that. It fails if configured as 'module'.
I intended this driver to be built-in only hence I never came across
these errors while testing.
I somehow missed it in Kconfig file.
I will make the correction in Kconfig (change 'tristate' to 'bool')
and make sure everything builds fine.
