Do we need to take the device lock of the pdev to ensure that a driver is bound to the device before we attempt to retrieve the data? And do we also need to verify that the driver bound is the cxl_pci driver (and not something like vfio_pci)? Otherwise I think assuming the drv data is cxl_dev_state may cause crash.

Is there a chance that the endpoint errors can just be handled via the standard AER flow via AER callback? Otherwise we may need to move the cxl_pci driver definition to core/pci.c in order to do this....
