Should this be type2_find_max_hpa() since CXL_DECODER_F_MAX here is defined to only check up to the type2 bit?

'found' never greater than 1 since it breaks immediately above on the first encounter? Should the break be there?

Could res be NULL here on the first iteration with res = cxlrd->res->child && res == NULL? Maybe set res to cxlrd->res above, and then pass in res->child to resource_size() above?

Can you do something like this to avoid keep checking prev?

if (prev) {
	if (!resource_size(prev))
		continue;
	if (res->start > prev->end + 1) {
		...
	}
} else {
	if (res->start > cxlrd->res->start) {
		...
	}
}

Maybe

if (next) {
	...
} else {
	...
}

Should this ref grab be a lot earlier in this function? Before we start using the cxlrd members?

Should move this whole line below right before checking for 'root'.

Maybe lower case to keep formatting same as other similar macros under CXL subsystem?

redefinition from drivers/cxl/cxl.h. Should those definition be deleted? Maybe move the whole thing over to here and call CXL_DECODER_F_MAX something else?
