So the problem is that ghes_edac_register() gets called multiple times
depending on how many GHES platform devices are on the system. But yet
they all scan *all* DIMMs. So instead you should return if the DIMMs
have been counted already and not register a second time.
Which makes that whole mc counting kinda useless. So you could rip that
out too.
Unless I'm missing something...
