So, to be clear, I do see the benefit of removing the
devm_add_action_or_reset() call altogether, but that work is a bit
deeper and should not be tied with all these other cleanups. So I think
from the CXL perspective, please drop these CXL changes out of this
patch. Follow up with a standalone patch, or leave it to drivers/cxl/
folks to create that deeper cleanup.
