Could this being named to something meaningful, such as
*_read_status() or so?

This type cast looks broken. dev_name() is a constant string already.

Other drivers do not use the dynamically generated dev_name() string
here, instead a fix string such as mod_name or ctl_name could be used.
edac_device_alloc_ctl_info() later generates a unique instance name
derived from name + index.

Regarding the type, this seems to be an API issue of edac_device_
alloc_ctl_info() that should actually use const char* in its
interface. So if needed (from what I wrote above it is not) the type
in the argument list needs to be changed instead.

Use the original error code instead.

Should not contain spaces and maybe a bit more specific.

Move this printk below to the error path and maybe print the error
code. You do not cover the -ENOMEM failure.
