Okay... The 'inline' helps with the compiler warning. If I move all to
header file with 'static inline' and wrapper around CONFIG_EDAC_DEBUG,
don't I need to export and declare the variable 'edac_debugfs'? Are
you okay with export this variable?

You need to make edac_debugfs extern in the header and define it in
edac_mc_sysfs.c.

But that's ok because edac_core.h will be included only by EDAC drivers
and they're supposed to see edac_debugfs anyway...

What's the point in having an accessor function that returns a driver
internal variable when this variable is exported anyway?
This will only further inconsistencies because half of the users will
use the variable directly and the other half will use the accessor
function.
