From: Alejandro Lucero <alucerop@amd.com>

By definition a type2 cxl device will use the host managed memory for
specific functionality, therefore it should not be available to other
uses. However, a dax interface could be just good enough in some cases.

Add a flag to a cxl region for specifically state to not create a dax
device. Allow a Type2 driver to set that flag at region creation time.

It makes sense.

I'll do the change.

Thanks

I think it's possible for a type 2 device to have pmem as well, and
it looks like these are the only two options at the moment, so I would
just move this check to before the switch statement.

I would like to see flags such that the device could choose the region type 
(system ram, device-dax, or none). I think that adding the ability
for device-dax would add a patch or two, so that may be a good follow up
patch.

Yes, that was also suggested in previous patchsets and I forgot.

I'll do it for v6.

Not sure the system ram option makes sense when this code can be executed.

Anyway, as you say, let's leave this for a follow up.

Thanks
