There were 3 issues:
1, PCI resources of the hidden overflow device had to be added separately
2. In nodule exit there is one more mci struct kobject put than
correspondig gets.
3. The edac_mc waitqueue must be stopped before the polled memory
area disappears.
Th attached patch fixes these problems. Module loads and removes now
without problems, with pci, edac, slab and kobject debug options
enabled.
i82875p code looks so simlar to i82875p that is has likely the same
ref count issues as i82875p.

Subject: [PATCH] i82875p_edac: Fix module init and exit
The PCI resources of the hidden overflow device are missing after the overflow
device is revealed and resources must be added separately.
When exiting both edac_remove_sysfs_mci_device() in edac_mc_del_mc()
and edac_mc_free() in i82875p_remove_one() decrement the mci ref count.
Use an additional kobject_get() to keep mci valid edac_mc_del_mc() till the
final edac_mc_free().
Also i82875p_remove_one() should be called before pci_unregister_driver()
to stop the polling before the checked memory area disappearr.
