Hmm, I don't think there are any 'struct cxl_port' instances that need
an RCH flag in the Linux CXL topology model. That was the feedback /
realization that Dave and I came to while reviewing Robert's RCH series.
In the RCH case the ACPI0016 host-bridge houses a
root-complex-integrated endpoint that is a peer of the
downstream-PCI-root-ports in the bridge. The topology ends up looking
like this:

# cxl list -BEMPTu
{
"bus":"root0",
"provider":"ACPI.CXL",
"nr_dports":1,
"dports":[
{
"dport":"pci0000:38",
"id":"0x31"
}
],
"endpoints:root0":[
{
"endpoint":"endpoint1",
"host":"mem0",
"depth":1,
"memdev":{
"memdev":"mem0",
"pmem_size":0,
"ram_size":"16.00 GiB (17.18 GB)",
"serial":"0",
"numa_node":0,
"host":"0000:38:00.0"
}
}
]
}

Notice that the logical ACPI0017 (CXL root) device lists the ACPI0016
device (associated with pci0000:38) as a 'struct cxl_dport'. The
endpoint is then connected to that dport. There are no intervening
'struct cxl_port' instances between the root0 and endpoint1 like there
would be in the CXL VH case.

Now, the problem is that there is no viable object that can drive access
to the upstream port component registers. It may be the case that when
the cxl_port driver attaches to an endpoint port that the endpoint port
driver maps both the upstream and downstream hardware-port registers for
the purposes of conveying RAS information.

In this case I was talking about notifying the cxl_mem driver and/or the
cxl_port driver that it needs to decorate an AER event with more
object-local information.
