Do you mean the similar logic as what Kani Toshi suggested?
e.g.
bool ghes_edac_driver_is_preferred()
{
        If (mod_name is "ghes_edac")
                return true;

        return false;
}
If no, what is the detail logic of ghes_edac_driver_is_preferred()?
Thanks for the clarification 😊
Because I notice that lots of other edac drivers are probing like:
...
        owner = edac_get_owner();
        if (owner && strncmp(owner, EDAC_MOD_STR, sizeof(EDAC_MOD_STR)))
                return -EBUSY;
...
