Yeah, the before and after size wise is small:

   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  15407	   2129	     49	  17585	   44b1	drivers/cxl/core/mbox.o

   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  15461	   2129	     49	  17639	   44e7	drivers/cxl/core/mbox.o

...which I think is worth the peace of mind, and it matches what is
currently done in cxl_xfer_log()

I will send a follow on with this since this patch is already in
cxl-fixes.
