Terry, the reference patch I sent was based on 6.18-rc4. That means it
was missing this change:

   3f5b8f7f34f6 cxl/port: Remove devm_cxl_port_enumerate_dports()

This cxl_walk_context move, which was not part of my original patch,
also does not appear to be needed, so this patch can simply be dropped.
