I would explicitly state the motivation and the use case for the patch.
---
acpi_parse_cfmws() currently adds empty CFMWS ranges to numa_meminfo
with the expectation that numa_cleanup_meminfo moves them to
numa_reserved_meminfo. There is no need for that indirection when it is
known in advance that these unpopulated ranges are meant for
numa_reserved_meminfo in suppot of future hotplug / CXL provisioning.

I would say a bit more here about when to use this function. Something
like:
"numa_cleanup_meminfo() reconciles all numa_memblk instances against
memblock_type information and moves any that intersect reserved ranges
to numa_reserved_meminfo. However, when that information is known ahead
of time add the numa_memblk to numa_reserved_meminfo directly."
With those 2 suggestions you can add:
