Minor, but this can be reformatted a bit cleaner:

Any comment on where that "32" comes from?

Needs a comment on what it is specifically protecting.

Initializing global data to NULL is redundant, however this feels like
one too many dynamic things registered.

cxl_cper_work and cper_callback are dynamic, but from the GHES
perspective all it cares about is checking if work is registered and if
so put the data in the kfifo and trigger that work func.

It need not care about what happens after the work is queued. So, lets
just have the CXL driver register its own cxl_cper_work instance and
skip defining one locally here. Export cxl_cper_fifo for the driver to
optionally reference.

Per above this would just become cxl_cper_register_work(), and then the
lock makes more sense as a cxl_cper_register_lock.

Also per above, moving the responsibility of cancel_work_sync() to
caller also brings guard() back in play here.
