Yeah, we can do something like this:

diff --git a/drivers/edac/edac_mc.c b/drivers/edac/edac_mc.c
index 429e971e02d7..c55ad285c285 100644

+++ b/drivers/edac/edac_mc.c
@@ -725,6 +725,11 @@ int edac_mc_add_mc(struct mem_ctl_info *mci)
 	int ret = -EINVAL;
 	edac_dbg(0, "\n");
 
+	if (mci->mc_idx >= EDAC_MAX_MCS) {
+		pr_warn_once("Too many memory controllers: %d\n", mci->mc_idx);
+		return ret;
+	}
+
 #ifdef CONFIG_EDAC_DEBUG
 	if (edac_debug_level >= 3)
 		edac_mc_dump_mci(mci);

right near the beginning of the function so that we can save us the
unwinding.
