The cxl driver is no longer actively maintained and we intend to remove it
in a future kernel release.
cxl has received minimal maintenance for several years, and is not
supported on the Power10 processor. We aren't aware of any users who are
likely to be using recent kernels.
Change its MAINTAINERS status to obsolete, update the sysfs ABI
documentation accordingly, add a warning message on device probe, change
the Kconfig options to label it as deprecated, and don't build it by
default.

The continual trickle of small conversion patches is grating on me, and
is really not helping. Just get rid of the 'remove_new' member
function, which is just an alias for the plain 'remove', and had a
comment to that effect:
/*
* .remove_new() is a relic from a prototype conversion of .remove().
* New drivers are supposed to implement .remove(). Once all drivers are
* converted to not use .remove_new any more, it will be dropped.
*/
This was just a tree-wide 'sed' script that replaced '.remove_new' with
'.remove', with some care taken to turn a subsequent tab into two tabs
to make things line up.
I did do some minimal manual whitespace adjustment for places that used
spaces to line things up.
Then I just removed the old (sic) .remove_new member function, and this
is the end result. No more unnecessary conversion noise.

The CXL driver has its own custom implementations of typed DT property
accessors. Replace the custom property accessor functions with the
common DT property functions.
This clean-up is part of a larger effort to remove of_get_property() and
other DT functions which leak pointers to DT node and property data.

There's little reason to dump DT property values when they can be read
at any time from the DT in /proc/device-tree. If such a feature is
needed, then it really should be implemented in the DT core such that
any module/driver can use it.

The .remove() callback for a platform driver returns an int which makes
many driver authors wrongly assume it's possible to do error handling by
returning an error code. However the value returned is ignored (apart
from emitting a warning) and this typically results in resource leaks.
To improve here there is a quest to make the remove callback return
void. In the first step of this quest all drivers are converted to
.remove_new(), which already returns void. Eventually after all drivers
are converted, .remove_new() will be renamed to .remove().
Trivially convert this driver from always returning zero in the remove
callback to the void returning variant.

Rewrite the cxl_guest_init_afu() loop in cxl_of_probe() to use
for_each_child_of_node() rather than a hand-coded for loop.
Remove the useless of_node_put(afu_np) call after the loop, where it's
guaranteed that afu_np == NULL.

The new of.c file contains code to parse the device tree to find out
about cxl adapters and AFUs.
guest.c implements the guest-specific callbacks for the backend API.
The process element ID is not known until the context is attached, so
we have to separate the context ID assigned by the cxl driver from the
process element ID visible to the user applications. In bare-metal,
the 2 IDs match.
