  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
to_cxl_region() will return NULL if "region_dev" is not a region device.

  2215  static struct cxl_region *to_cxl_region(struct device *dev)
  2216  {
  2217          if (dev_WARN_ONCE(dev, dev->type != &cxl_region_type,
  2218                            "not a cxl_region device\n"))
  2219                  return NULL;
  2220  
  2221          return container_of(dev, struct cxl_region, dev);
  2222  }

It won't fail.

If it does fail, we're already in bad shape and it's not worth worrying
about resource leaks at that point.
