I feel like this could be said more succinctly and with an indication of
what the end user should expect to see. Something like:
"cxl_pci fails to unmask CXL protocol errors when CXL memory error
reporting is not granted native control. Given that CXL memory error
reporting uses the event interface and protocol errors use AER, unmask
protocol errors based only on the native AER setting. Without this
change end user deployments will fail to report protocol errors in the
case where native memory error handling is not granted to Linux."

The error code does not matter here and changing it makes the patch that
bit much more noisier than it needs to be. So just leave it as:
return -ENXIO;
