cxl: Remove the CXL_DECODER_MIXED mistake
CXL_DECODER_MIXED is a safety mechanism introduced for the case where
platform firmware has programmed an endpoint decoder that straddles a
DPA partition boundary. While the kernel is careful to only allocate DPA
capacity within a single partition there is no guarantee that platform
firmware, or anything that touched the device before the current kernel,
gets that right.
However, __cxl_dpa_reserve() will never get to the CXL_DECODER_MIXED
designation because of the way it tracks partition boundaries. A
request_resource() that spans ->ram_res and ->pmem_res fails with the
following signature:
__cxl_dpa_reserve: cxl_port endpoint15: decoder15.0: failed to reserve allocation
CXL_DECODER_MIXED is dead defensive programming after the driver has
already given up on the device. It has never offered any protection in
practice, just delete it.
