Well, devm_al_mc_edac_free() devm_al_mc_edac_del() look like useless
wrappers to me and can be removed and you can use edac_mc_del_mc() and
edac_mc_free() directly. But then you need to cast them in an ugly way
so that it builds:

ret = devm_add_action(&pdev->dev, (void (*)(void *data))edac_mc_free, mci);

I guess we can leave them as is and then lift them into the EDAC core if
someone else wants to do the same devm_* thing.

al_mc_edac_get_scrub_mode() doesn't need a prefix because it is used
only once and the compiler is simply inlining it so you can forget the
stack trace visibility:

$ readelf -s drivers/edac/al_mc_edac.ko | grep scrub
$

The others are fine, I guess, since they're function pointers and cannot be
inlined as such so you want them prefixed:

$ readelf -s drivers/edac/al_mc_edac.ko | grep al_mc_edac
