By definition a type2 cxl device will use the host managed memory for
specific functionality, therefore it should not be available to other
uses.

While it's highly unlikely that someone puts pmem on a type2 device, the spec does not forbid it. Maybe it makes sense to just return 0 above this switch block entirely and skip this code block?
