Subject: [PATCH] cxl/region: Fix the return value in devm_cxl_add_region() kernel-doc
Date: Sat, 12 Sep 2026 00:17:48 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260911221748.7212-1-kmehltretter@gmail.com> (raw)

devm_cxl_add_region() returns the new struct cxl_region, or an ERR_PTR()
on failure, but its kernel-doc says "0 if the region was added to the
@cxlrd, else returns negative error code", which was never true.
Describe the pointer.

Fixes: 779dd20cfb56 ("cxl/region: Add region creation support")
