Arnd's fix already has that last line in there:

config EDAC_SKX
tristate "Intel Skylake server Integrated MC"
- depends on PCI && X86_64 && X86_MCE_INTEL && PCI_MMCONFIG
+ depends on PCI && X86_64 && X86_MCE_INTEL && PCI_MMCONFIG && ACPI
depends on ACPI_NFIT || !ACPI_NFIT # if ACPI_NFIT=m, EDAC_SKX can't be y
select DMI
select ACPI_ADXL if ACPI
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

so I'm reading this as *additionally* needed, ontop of the ugly fix.

But let's wait until he clarifies first.
