--- Patch [3]: [PATCH v2 3/3] cxl/hdm: Restore commit_end when decoder enumeration fails ---

cxl/hdm: Restore commit_end when decoder enumeration fails

This commit restores commit_end to the none-committed baseline on the
enumeration failure path so a subsequent probe can enumerate cleanly. It
also protects the commit_end advance against concurrent readers in the
DVSEC emulation path.

[Severity: Medium]
Does mixing goto-based error handling with scope-based cleanup helpers
(scoped_guard) in the same function violate the cleanup subsystem guidelines?

The documentation in include/linux/cleanup.h notes that usage of "goto"
and cleanup helpers should never be mixed in the same function, because it
creates confusing ownership semantics and can lead to bugs under future
modifications.

Should devm_cxl_enumerate_decoders() either be converted entirely to
scope-based cleanup, or avoid using scoped_guard() in the error path?
