mainlining shenanigans

In CXL 2.0, 8.2.5.1 CXL Capability Header Register: this register is given as 32 bits. 8.2.3 which covers the CXL 2.0 Component registers, including the CXL Capability Header Register states that access restrictions specified in Section 8.2.2 apply. 8.2.2 includes: * A 32 bit register shall be accessed as a 4 Byte quantity. ... If these rules are not followed, the behavior is undefined. Discovered during review of CXL QEMU emulation. Alex Bennée pointed out there was a comment saying that 4 byte registers must be read with a 4 byte read, but 8 byte reads were being emulated. https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/87bkzyd3c7.fsf@linaro.org/ Fixing that, led to this code failing. Whilst a given hardware implementation 'might' work with an 8 byte read, it should not be relied upon. The QEMU emulation v5 will return 0 and log the wrong access width. The code moved, so one fixes tag for where this will directly apply and also a reference to the earlier introduction of the code for backports. Fixes: |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
