Subject: [PATCH v4 0/4] cxl/mem: Fix memdev device setup

Changes since v3 [1]:

- Drop cxl_memdev_activate(). An open-coded pointer assignment is
  sufficient relative to cdev_device_add() publishing the device (Jason)

[1]: http://lore.kernel.org/r/161714738634.2168142.10860201861152789544.stgit@dwillia2-desk3.amr.corp.intel.com

A collection of fixes initially inspired by Jason's recognition of
dev_set_name() error handling mistakes on other driver review, but also
from a deeper discussion of idiomatic device operation shutdown flows.
The end result is easier to reason about and validate. Thank you, Jason.

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

Dan Williams (4):
      cxl/mem: Use sysfs_emit() for attribute show routines
      cxl/mem: Fix synchronization mechanism for device removal vs ioctl operations
      cxl/mem: Do not rely on device_add() side effects for dev_set_name() failures
      cxl/mem: Disable cxl device power management
