Maybe call it resize_or_free_region_hpa()?

Also rename 'val' to 'size'

Don't think CXL_DECODER_PMEM exists any longer. It's CXL_PARTMODE_PMEM. Just beware there have been some changes while you are rebasing to the latest upstream code.

Not sure what value this comment adds

Can you explain here why a flush is needed?

comment provides no value

Can you please provide some verbose explanation as to what all these extra steps are doing for pmem versus devm_cxl_add_region() for dram?

Can __create_region() be modified to determine whether to create dram region or pmem?
