If you mean the patch at

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/mchehab/linux-edac.git;a=commitdiff;h=56efd647f5a63497a07caaa22e993307aaf95270

where you've removed the trace.*mce call, then I don't object to it per
se. Send it for proper review too, though, because it contains incorrect
comments like

+ * Those events are generated when hardware detected a corrected or
+ * uncorrected event, and are meant to replace the current API to report
+ * errors defined on both EDAC and MCE subsystems.

which clearly need fixing.

Thanks.
