That's covers everything but Hannes arguments. I don't think that
adding just one more device_create_file() on a driver that creates
dozens (or hundreds) of sys nodes, depending on the number of DIMMS
on the system would make it any worse.

[PATCH EDAC] edac: only create sdram_scrub_rate where supported

Currently, sdram_scrub_rate sysfs node is created even if the device
doesn't support get/set the scub rate. Change the logic to only
create this device node when the operation is supported.

Right, those attributes are created once during EDAC core init and we
haven't seen any issues so far so let's not address this just yet but
make a mental note about the race condition possibility.
