Maybe this should just return a bool based on match.

bool cxl_pci_hdm_decoder_count_match()?

I'm not sure if this function name makes sense. Nothing is being setup here. I think the above function should just be __cxl_pci_hdm_decoder_count_match() and this function can just be cxl_pci_hdm_decoder_count_match(). Or just collpase the two into a single function.

Probably a good idea to add
lockdep_assert_held_write(&cxl_rwsem.dpa);

Use {} for if/else since the else part is multi-lines. Although given that you have to set the id either way, maybe have a helper function cxl_decoder_settings_init() that does it so you don't need the else branch.
