So those last three patches look unnecessarily complex. You don't
need to export ghes_edac_force_enable and you don't need that
ghes_edac_preferred() thing.

IOW, I'd like to see the below split into two patches:

1. Add ghes_get_devices() to ghes.c along with moving the
ghes_edac_force_enable param to ghes.c

2. Add init() and exit() module functions and fixup Kconfig

There's no need for ghes_present - ghes.c has either registered devices
or not.

And ghes_edac is preferred if ghes_get_devices() gives you a list of
devices or not.

IOW, it all boils down to whether the list returned is NULL or not.

HTH.
