Dude, look at the code, we do that already. And you're using it with
dev_attr_sdram_scrub_rate.
Simply change the permissions of the attribute before calling
device_create_file.
pseudo:
umode_t mode = 0;
if (mci->set...)
mode |= S_IWUSR;
if (mci->get...)
mode |= S_IRUGO;
dev_attr_sdram_scrub_rate.attr.mode = mode;
device_create_file(&mci->dev, &dev_attr_sdram_scrub_rate);

What if it is a shell script doing:
cat /sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/sdram_scrub_rate
or similar?
Simply fixing the permissions fixes *all* possible cases.
