I don't know what "different parts of a valid state" means. The CDAT
should not be changing as it is being read unless someone is issuing a
set-partition while the DOE operation is happening. Rather than
arbitrary retries, block out set-partition while CDAT is being read.

You can use {set,clear}_exclusive_cxl_commands() to temporarily lock out
set-partition while the CDAT read is happening.
