* i7core_get_active_channels() - gets the number of channels and csrows
* @socket: Quick Path Interconnect socket
* @channels: Number of channels that will be returned
* @csrows: Number of csrows found
*
* Since EDAC core needs to know in advance the number of available channels
* and csrows, in order to allocate memory for csrows/channels, it is needed
* to run two similar steps. At the first step, implemented on this function,
* it checks the number of csrows/channels present at one socket.
* this is used in order to properly allocate the size of mci components.
*
* It should be noticed that none of the current available datasheets explain
* or even mention how csrows are seen by the memory controller. So, we need
* to add a fake description for csrows.
* So, this driver is attributing one DIMM memory for one csrow.
