This warning is with 'EDAC_MEM_REPAIR' is off.

Yes. Moving under  "#ifdef CONFIG_CXL_EDAC_MEM_REPAIR" which is present
at the start of memory repair features, solved  this warning. 
Presently 'cxl_is_memdev_memory_online' is used in  cxl_mem_perform_sparing() and 
cxl_mem_perform_ppr() only though I thought it will be used in other parts of the CXL code.
