The expectation is that cxl_parse_cfwms() continues in the face the of
failure as evidenced by code like:
cxlrd = cxl_root_decoder_alloc(root_port, ways, cxl_calc_hb);
if (IS_ERR(cxlrd))
return 0;
There are other error paths in that function which mistakenly follow
idiomatic expectations and return an error when they should not. Most of
those mistakes are innocuous checks that hardly ever fail in practice.
However, a recent change succeed in making the implementation more
fragile by applying an idiomatic, but still wrong "fix" [1]. In this
failure case the kernel reports:
cxl root0: Failed to populate active decoder targets
cxl_acpi ACPI0017:00: Failed to add decode range: [mem 0x00000000-0x7fffffff flags 0x200]
...which is a real issue with that one window (to be fixed separately),
but ends up failing the entirety of cxl_acpi_probe().
Undo that recent breakage while also removing the confusion about
ignoring errors. Update all exits paths to return an error per typical
expectations and let an outer wrapper function handle dropping the
error.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
