Subject: [PATCH 0/4] cxl/mem: Fix memdev device setup

A small collection of fixes mostly inspired by Jason's recognition of
dev_set_name() error handling mistakes on other driver review.

dev_set_name() can fail and although device_add() might catch it that's
not a reliable assumption. While fixing that I noticed that the unwind
handling for cdev_device_add() failures leaked the device name.

The sysfs_emit() fixup and unpublishing of device power management files
are just sanity cleanups.

Dan Williams (4):
      cxl/mem: Use sysfs_emit() for attribute show routines
      cxl/mem: Fix cdev_device_add() error handling
      cxl/mem: Do not rely on device_add() side effects for dev_set_name() failures
      cxl/mem: Disable cxl device power management
