A mixed mode decoder is programmed with device physical addresses that span both ram and pmem partitions of a memdev. Linux does not support mixed mode decoders. The driver rejects sysfs writes that try to set decoder mode to mixed, and if a resource bieng allocated is not wholly contained in either the pmem or ram partition of a memdev, it is also rejected. Basically, the CXL region driver is not going to create regions with mixed mode decoders, but the BIOS could. If the kernel driver sees the mixed mode decoder, it will fail to enable the region, and emit a dev_dbg() message. A dev_dbg() is not noisy enough in this case. Change the message to be a dev_warn() that explicitly says mixed mode is not supported.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
