This one is a little ugly. I'd prefer to see the error
condition remain out of line (vs the warning one)

		if (!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_CXL_REGION_INVALIDATION_TEST)) {
			dev_err(&cxlr->dev,
				"Failed ...");
			return -ENOXIO
		}

		dev_warn_once(...

		return 0;

Or keep the else.

Not that important though as code is small enough that less
than ideal in / out of line doesn't matter that much to readability.
