I've got this working, but don't really like the resulting debugfs
layout. I end-up with something like this (using dev_name() of platform
driver):

/mc0/fake*
/fff00000.memory-controller/inject_ctrl

It would be nice if there was a top level edac directory and any entries
I add are added under mcX. I can do that for the next version if that's
okay.
