Sorry for the delay in providing the data. The system wasn't available 
for a while. Now I have put the good(6.11.0-rc6) and bad(6.13.0-rc1) 
dmesg and iomem logs at

https://gist.github.com/bharata/4a57db11e044fd1d313035f3dd5f763b

What I see is that in the bad case, we hit the below shown dev_dbg 
message (not seen in the logs that are provided)

static int hmem_register_device(struct device *host, int target_nid,
                                const struct resource *res)
{
        struct platform_device *pdev;
        struct memregion_info info;
        long id;
        int rc;

        if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_CXL_REGION) &&
            region_intersects(res->start, resource_size(res), 
IORESOURCE_MEM,
                              IORES_DESC_CXL) != REGION_DISJOINT) {
                dev_dbg(host, "deferring range to CXL: %pr\n", res); <--
                return 0;
        }

With this, it appears that dev_dax_kmem_probe() won't happen for the CXL 
range and hence CXL memory doesn't get detected.

Let us know if you need more debug data.
