It depends on how many PCI devices in your machine you wish to

checking for PCI bus parity errors.

ok so this is actually a per pci device property!
I would suggest moving this property to the pci device itself, not doing
it inside an edac directory.
Yes, this seems more sensible to me. For one thing, I suspect that just keying on vendor:device is probably too blunt for this and that blacklisting a particular PCI device revision is a likely requirement, as well as subsystem vendor/subsystem device.
