Subject: [PATCH] cxl: docs/devices Fix typos and clarify wording in device-types.rst

Fix several typos and improve comment clarity in the CXL device types
docs:
 "w/" replaced with "with"
 "sill" -> "still"
 "The allows" -> "This allows"
 "capacity" corrected to "capable"
 "more devices" corrected to "more hosts" in MLD description

These changes improve readability and enhance the documentation quality.
