It can violate the assumption\nthe region stays registered through the completion of cxl_add_to_region().\nIt can violate the assumption that devm_add_action_or_reset() is working\nwith a live 'struct cxl_region'.\n\nIt is ok for the region to disappear outside of those windows as that\nmirrors device hotplug flows where the proper locks are held."
