    cxl: Allow release of contexts which have been OPENED but not STARTED · 7c26b9cf
    Andrew Donnellan authored
    If we open a context but do not start it (either because we do not attempt
    to start it, or because it fails to start for some reason), we are left
    with a context in state OPENED. Previously, cxl_release_context() only
    allowed releasing contexts in state CLOSED, so attempting to release an
    OPENED context would fail.
    
    In particular, this bug causes available contexts to run out after some EEH
    failures, where drivers attempt to release contexts that have failed to
    start.
    
    Allow releasing contexts in any state with a value lower than STARTED, i.e.
    OPENED or CLOSED (we can't release a STARTED context as it's currently
    using the hardware, and we assume that contexts in any new states which may
    be added in future with a value higher than STARTED are also unsafe to
    release).
