The reasoning there is because we don't currently expose the contents of stuct cxl_context to afu drivers, rather they just treat it as an opaque type. We could potentially change this to expose the details, but there's a lot of junk in there that's just internal details of the cxl driver that isn't of interest to an afu driver that I'd rather not expose. We also already have another accessor function (cxl_process_element) in the api, so it's not out of place. FWIW I'm not opposed to changing how this api works if it ultimately makes things better, but I want to wait until the cxlflash superpipe support is merged so any patches that change the api can change it at the same time.
