The physical base address of a CXL range can be invalid and is then
set to CXL_RESOURCE_NONE. In general software shall prevent such
situations, but it is hard to proof this may never happen. E.g. in
add_port_attach_ep() there this the following:
component_reg_phys = find_component_registers(uport_dev);
port = devm_cxl_add_port(&parent_port->dev, uport_dev,
component_reg_phys, parent_dport);
find_component_registers() and subsequent functions (e.g.
cxl_regmap_to_base()) may return CXL_RESOURCE_NONE. But it is written
to port without any further check in cxl_port_alloc():
port->component_reg_phys = component_reg_phys;
It is then later directly used in devm_cxl_setup_hdm() to map io
ranges with devm_cxl_iomap_block(). Just an example...
Check this condition. Also do not fail silently like an ioremap()
failure, use a WARN_ON_ONCE() for it.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
