I am not understanding why m.bank is assigned this value..

It only causes incorrect decoding-
[  608.832916] DEBUG: raise_amd_threshold_event
[  608.832926] [Hardware Error]: Corrected error, no action required.
[  608.833143] [Hardware Error]: CPU:26 (15:2:0) 
MC165_STATUS[-|CE|MiscV|-|AddrV|-|-]: 0x8c00000000000000

[  608.833777] [Hardware Error]: cache level: RESV, tx: INSN
[  608.834034] amd_inject module loaded ...


(Obviously, as in amd_decode_mce() we switch (m->bank) for decoding the 
status and there is no bank 165)

OTOH, if m.bank = bank;
Then we get correct decoding info-
[   58.021978] DEBUG: raise_amd_threshold_event
