Subject: amd64_edac: Fix single-channel setups
From: Borislav Petkov <bp@xxxxxxx>
commit f0a56c480196a98479760862468cc95879df3de0 upstream.
It can happen that configurations are running in a single-channel mode
even with a dual-channel memory controller, by, say, putting the DIMMs
only on the one channel and leaving the other empty. This causes a
problem in init_csrows which implicitly assumes that when the second
channel is enabled, i.e. channel 1, the struct dimm hierarchy will be
present. Which is not.
So always allocate two channels unconditionally.
This provides for the nice side effect that the data structures are
initialized so some day, when memory hotplug is supported, it should
just work out of the box when all of a sudden a second channel appears.
