Subject: [GIT PULL] Compute Express Link (CXL) Fix for 6.9-rc7

Hi Linus, please pull from

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cxl/cxl.git tags/cxl-fixes-6.9-rc7

..to receive a fix for the CXL subsystem.

A late bug was reported by Robert Richter that the Restricted CXL Host
(RCH) support was missing in the CXL endpoint access_coordinate
calculation. The missing support causes the topology iterator to stumble over
a NULL pointer and triggers a kernel OOPS on a platform with CXL 1.1 support.
The fix bypasses RCH topology as the access_coordinate calculation is not
necessary since RCH does not support hotplug and the memory region exported
should be covered by the HMAT table already. A unit test is also added to
cxl_test to check against future regressions on the topology iterator.

This has build success notification from kbuild-robot. It has been in the -next
for several days with no reported issues.
