4d7963648f amd64_edac: Fix DIMMs per DCTs output
amd64_debug_display_dimm_sizes() reports the distribution of the DIMMs
on each DRAM controller and its chip select sizes. Thus, the last don't
have anything to do with whether we're running in ganged DCT mode or not
- their sizes don't change all of a sudden. Fix that by removing the
ganged-check and dump DCT0's config for DCT1 when in ganged mode since
they're identical.

360b7f3c60 amd64_edac: Remove two-stage initialization
Now that all prerequisites are in place, drop the two-stage driver
instances initialization in favor of the following simple init sequence:

1. Probe PCI device: we only test ECC capabilities here and if none exit
early.

2. If the hw supports ECC and it is/can be enabled, we init the per-node
instance.

Remove "amd64_" prefix from static functions touched, while at it.

e726f3c368 amd64_edac: Fix interleaving check
When matching error address to the range contained by one memory node,
we're in valid range when node interleaving

1. is disabled, or
2. enabled and when the address bits we interleave on match the
interleave selector on this node (see the "Node Interleaving" section in
the BKDG for an enlightening example).

Thus, when we early-exit, we need to reverse the compound logic
statement properly.

bb31b3122c EDAC: Fix workqueue-related crashes
00740c5854 changed edac_core to
un-/register a workqueue item only if a lowlevel driver supplies a
polling routine. Normally, when we remove a polling low-level driver, we
go and cancel all the queued work. However, the workqueue unreg happens
based on the ->op_state setting, and edac_mc_del_mc() sets this to
OP_OFFLINE _before_ we cancel the work item, leading to NULL ptr oops on
the workqueue list.

Fix it by putting the unreg stuff in proper order.

However, PCI core will call the probe routine one time for each CPU
socket. If we return -EINVAL to those calls, it would seem that the
driver fails, when, in fact, there's no more devices left to initialize.

Changing the return code to -ENODEV solves this issue.

3c52cc57cc i7core_edac: properly terminate pci_dev_table
At pci_xeon_fixup(), it waits for a null-terminated table, while at
i7core_get_all_devices, it just do a for 0..ARRAY_SIZE. As other tables
are zero-terminated, change it to be terminate with 0 as well, and fixes
a bug where it may be running out of the table elements.

a3e1541637 i7core_edac: Avoid PCI refcount to reach zero on successive load/reload
That's a nasty bug that took me a lot of time to track, and whose
solution took just one line to solve. The best fragrances and the worse
poisons are shipped on the smalest bottles.

The drivers/pci/quick.c implements the pci_get_device function. The normal
behavior is that you call it, the function returns you a pdev pointer
and increment pdev->kobj.kref.refcount of the pci device. However,
if you want to keep searching an object, you need to pass the previous
pdev function to the search.

When you use a not null pointer to pdev "from" field, pci_get_device
will decrement pdev->kobj.kref.refcount, assuming that the driver won't
be using the previous pdev.

The solution is simple: we just need to call pci_dev_get() manually,
for the pdev's that the driver will actually use.
