Actually, on a second look, that's not necessary:

                err = edac_device_create_block(edac_dev, instance,
                                                &instance->blocks[i]);
                if (err) {
                        /* If any fail, remove all previous ones */
                        for (j = 0; j < i; j++)
                                edac_device_delete_block(edac_dev,
                                                        &instance->blocks[j]);
				^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

that cleans up the kobjects.

Ditto.

But keep lookin' :-)
