This looks a bit messy, how about:
depends on SFC
depends on CXL_BUS >= SFC
default SFC
...where the "depends on SFC" line could be deleted if this other
"depends on SFC" options in this file are all moved under an "if SFC"
section.
...where the "CXL_BUS >= SFC" is the canonical way to represent the
"only build me if my core library is built-in or I am also a dynamic
module".
...and where "default SFC" is a bit clearer that this is a "non-optional
functionality of the SFC driver", not "non-optional functionality of the
wider kernel".
Noted that all of the above is inconsistent with the existing style in
this file, I still think it's a worthwhile cleanup.

That feels like an "information free" help text. Given this
capability auto-enables shouldn't the help text be giving some direction
about when someone would want to turn it off? Or maybe reconsider making
it "default y" if this is really functionality that someone should
conciously opt-in to?
Otherwise if it auto-enables and you do not expect anyone to turn it
off, just disable the prompt for this by removing the help text and
making it purely and automatic parameter.

No, endpoint drivers should not need softdep for cxl core modules.
Primarily because this does nothing to ensure platform CXL
capability-enumeration relative to PCI driver loading, and because half
of those softdeps in that statement are redundant or broken.
- cxl_core is already a dependency due to link time dependencies
- cxl_port merely being loaded does nothing to enforce that port probing
is complete by the time the driver loads. Instead the driver needs to
use EPROBE_DEFER to wait for CXL enumeration, or it needs to use the
scheme that cxl_pci uses which is register a memdev and teach userspace
to wait for that memdev attaching to its driver event as the "CXL memory
is now available" event.
- cxl_acpi is a platform specific implementation detail. When / if a
non-ACPI platform ever adds CXL support it would be broken if every
endpoint softdep line needed to then be updated
- cxl-mem is misspelled cxl_mem and likely is not having any effect.
In short, if you delete this line and something breaks then it needs to
be fixed in code and not module dependencies.
