I disagree. CXL spec does not exclude the possibility of real CXL
RCiEPs. So a CXL 2.0+ device that talks CXL configuration for some
reason but is part of the root complex itself (maybe a chiplet or
something where there isn't necessarily a real CXL bus involved).
Same reason we have RCiEPs in normal PCIe.

Chasing references - there is only one I can find (CXL r3.0 9.12.1)
"If a Host bridge is not associated with RCDs or CXL RCiEPs."

Both listed because they are different things.
(I think it's fine to say here that this has been queried in
appropriate place in the past and is something that is allowed).

So I still don't think the above check is sufficient'. If you
happen to have just one CXL 2.0+ RCiEP on a host bridge with
not root ports, then the check will identify it as a restriced
host.  Maybe I'm missing another check that wouldn't though....

Examples - don't show all the crazy things people are allowed to 
build - you would need an awful lot of diagrams to do that.
