Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 1 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [Medium] The early return for decoders with `part < 0` skips the loop termination condition, causing iteration to silently continue past the last committed decoder.

cxl/region: Guard against unset partition in poison_by_decoder()

This commit skips decoders with an unset partition (part < 0) in
poison_by_decoder() to prevent an out-of-bounds access when querying
partition modes.

Closes: https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260708074228.43654-1-icheng@nvidia.com?part=4

[Severity: Medium]
Does this early return bypass the iteration termination logic if the
commit_end decoder itself has an unset partition?

Looking at poison_by_decoder(), returning early here skips the termination
check at the bottom of the function:

	/* Iterate until commit_end is reached */
	if (cxled->cxld.id == ctx->port->commit_end) {
		ctx->offset = cxled->dpa_res->end + 1;
		ctx->part = cxled->part;
		return 1;
	}

This would cause device_for_each_child() to continue iterating into 
uncommitted decoders instead of returning 1 and stopping. Because the 
iteration would ultimately return 0 instead of 1, cxl_get_poison_by_endpoint() 
would then fail to trigger the subsequent cxl_get_poison_unmapped() call.
