May it is a legacy issue.

I think so, ghes_edac_report_mem_error in ghes_edac.c is Long Method
and have Duplicated Code with cper_mem_err_location,
cper_dimm_err_location, and cper_mem_err_type_str in
drivers/firmware/efi/cper.c.

I will send a new patch to rework ghes_edac_report_mem_error.

Cheers
Shuai
