Commit Message

Ira Weiny Oct. 7, 2024, 11:16 p.m. UTC
From: Navneet Singh <navneet.singh@intel.com>

Until now region modes and decoder modes were equivalent in that both
modes were either PMEM or RAM.  The addition of Dynamic
Capacity partitions defines up to 8 DC partitions per device.

The region mode is thus no longer equivalent to the endpoint decoder
mode.  IOW the endpoint decoders may have modes of DC0-DC7 while the
region mode is simply DC.

Define a new region mode enumeration which applies to regions separate
from the decoder mode.  Adjust the code to process these modes
independently.

There is no equal to decoder mode dead in region modes.  Avoid
constructing regions with decoders which have been flagged as dead.
