This is a huge patch, there are probably ways to split it in smaller
pieces to make the review easier. However, considering how much time
we've already invested discussing and reviewing it, it's with by me to
keep it as is.
The ref-counting and device management look good to me now. A few
details below.

The comment is still true, but needs tuning. Something like:
"We don't declare an RCU critical section here, as our info structure is
protected by a reference counter on the device. By the time the info
reference is removed from the idr, the ref count of the device is
already at 0, so no user API will access the corresponding AFU and this
function can't return it."

The error path with goto is here useless. However, if
ocxl_context_init() fails, the memory for the context is never released.
You may consider either getting rid of ocxl_context_alloc(), which is
just a simple wrapper around kzalloc(), or merging the allocation in
ocxl_context_init(). It would impact the external API, but having 2
calls (alloc and init) feels like there's one too many.

This function is not called anywhere?

So that's likely where we miss the "make invisible" call. However, is it
enough to rely on the private data to be set on the AFU?

This is obsolete and should go away.
