Hi Vishal,

Thanks for the patch series, it resolve the issue I hit
from my end.

IMHO, CXL_DECODER_STATE_AUTO suggests the kernel auto-discovered and is
willing to auto-tear-down. For a locked BIOS-committed slot that is
explicitly not under kernel control, STATE_MANUAL seems closer to
the intent, or, if locked decoders need their own tracking.
Maybe worth at least a comment justifying AUTO here.

Maybe something like the following to utilize DEFINE_RANGE() macro ?

"""
cxld->hpa_range = DEFINE_RANGE(base, base - 1);
"""

What do you think ?

Ditto for DEFINE_RANGE() macro.
