I think Dan's email in this thread covered this.

Got it.

Ditto w previous patch.

Dan explained this previously:

"nr_targets is the number of possible targets that this decoder can
target. For CFMWS it just equals interleave_ways because the target
list can't be changed. A switch on the other hand could support up to
16 possible targets, but be dynamically configured to only do a 1-way
interleave. So this is an artifact of 'struct cxl_decoder'
representing both fixed CFMWS entries and dynamically programmable
switch entries. nr_targets tells devm_cxl_add_decoder() how much
memory to allocate for its target list, interleave_ways tells
devm_cxl_add_decoder() what the decoder is currently programmed to
decode."
