edac_create_sysfs_attributes() creates inject_data_error before
inject_data_poison. If the second file creation fails, the first file is
left behind.
The same failure path runs after edac_mc_add_mc() has registered the
memory controller with the EDAC core. Jumping directly to edac_mc_free()
skips edac_mc_del_mc() and leaves the registered controller state
unwound incorrectly.
Remove inject_data_error when inject_data_poison creation fails, and
route the probe failure through edac_mc_del_mc() before freeing mci.

I don't think this is nice way how to do it. I would do it above to avoid using ifdefs here.
like this
if (rc) {
edac_printk(KERN_ERR, EDAC_MC,
"Failed to create sysfs entries\n");
edac_mc_del_mc(&pdev->dev);
goto free_edac_mc;
}
}
The patch itself is correct.
Thanks,
Michal
