[ Upstream commit cb66b1d60c283bb340a2fc19deff7de8acea74b1 ] Autodiscovered regions can fail to assemble if they are not discovered in HPA decode order. The user will see failure messages like: [] cxl region0: endpoint5: HPA order violation region1 [] cxl region0: endpoint5: failed to allocate region reference The check that is causing the failure helps the CXL driver enforce a CXL spec mandate that decoders be committed in HPA order. The check is needless for autodiscovered regions since their decoders are already programmed. Trying to enforce order in the assembly of these regions is useless because they are assembled once all their member endpoints arrive, and there is no guarantee on the order in which endpoints are discovered during probe. Keep the existing check, but for autodiscovered regions, allow the out of order assembly after a sanity check that the lesser numbered decoder has the lesser HPA starting address.

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.
