The BIOS provided CXIMS (CXL XOR Interleave Math Structure) is required
for calculating a targets position in an interleave list during region
creation. The CXL driver expects to discover a CXIMS that matches the
HBIG (Host Bridge Interleave Granularity) and stores the xormaps found
in that CXIMS for retrieval during region creation.
If there is no CXIMS for an HBIG, no maps are stored. That leads to a
NULL pointer dereference at xormap retrieval during region creation.
Add a check during ACPI probe for the case of no matching CXIMS. Emit
an error message and fail to add the decoder.
Fixes: f9db85bfec ("cxl/acpi: Support CXL XOR Interleave Math (CXIMS)")

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.
