Recent cleanup in the way EEH support is added to a device causes a
kernel oops when the cxl driver probes a device and creates virtual
devices discovered on the FPGA:
BUG: Kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0x000000a0
Faulting instruction address: 0xc000000000048070
Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 7 [#1]

The root cause is that those cxl virtual devices don't have a
representation in the device tree and therefore no associated pci_dn
structure. In eeh_add_device_late(), pdn is NULL, so edev is NULL and
we oops.
We never had explicit support for EEH for those virtual devices.
Instead, EEH events are reported to the (real) pci device and handled
by the cxl driver. Which can then forward to the virtual devices and
handle dependencies. The fact that we try adding EEH support for the
virtual devices is new and a side-effect of the recent cleanup.
This patch fixes it by skipping adding EEH support on powernv for
devices which don't have a pci_dn structure.
The cxl driver doesn't create virtual devices on pseries so this patch
doesn't fix it there intentionally.

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 Restructured Text 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.
