[PATCH] EDAC/amd64: Stop allocating ECC settings separately
From: Dmitry Torokhov
Date: Sun Sep 20 2026 - 22:10:36 EST
There is no reason to allocate and manage ECC settings separately when
struct ecc_settings can be embedded directly into the driver-private
struct amd64_pvt.

Resending this standalone cleanup that was originally posted back in
2015 as part of an async-probe RFC series [1] and got lost in the
broader driver model discussion. Since amd64_edac has long moved away
from pci_register_driver() to probing nodes directly in
amd64_edac_init(), patches 2 and 3 from that series are obsolete, and
this patch has been rebased onto the current code.
