I'm also looking for CPU implementor (MIDR), I could check for the model
too but I still need to detect devices based on PCI IDs as the model
check is not sufficient here (only multi-socket ThunderX has OCX TLK
devices).

So what does that mean? The only way to load a PMU driver and an EDAC
driver is the PCI ID of the memory controller? No other way?

I already tried multiple ways to load the drivers, so far with limited
success :)

The PMU/EDAC devices are all PCI devices do I need the 'struct pci_dev *'.
I'm not aware of other ways to access these devices. Please enlighten
me if I'm missing something.
