Read what I said: -1 is fed into edac_mc_handle_error() already for
other layers. It is *the* standard value to denote not-available in the
EDAC core.

Why does it matter? This is not a syscall retval or something - it is
used internally in the reporting path.

For something to be fixed it needs to be broken first.
Again, read what I said: making it return -EINVAL actually breaks
i82975x_process_error_info(). Not to mention that returning -EINVAL in
that context is completely useless.
