There's a real error in this patch.

When you do whitespace only changes, please
verify that the old and new object files produced
are unchanged.

One trivial bit too,

I think most prefer function pointer prototypes like:

        size_t (*show)(struct edd_device *edev, char *buf);
        int (*test)(struct edd_device *edev);

This is wrong.
It's an assignment in the block and it's important.

This could be rewritten as:

        for (i = 0; i < edd_num_devices(); i++) {
                edev = edd_devices[i];
                if (edev)
                        edd_device_unregister(edev);
        }

or just remove the temporary.
