Yes, this fix looks good.

We still need the two mechanisms provided by the existing code below. 
The whitelist simply compliments 1.

1. GHES-presence check.  (We can add APEI OSC bit check as well.)
2. Module priority.  ghes_edac has higher priority for registration.

I'd prefer to add the whitelist check to ghes_edac first.  This makes
the existing code to work.  We can then work on refactoring changes
like this on top of it without breaking the functionality.

Thanks,
