Per the CXL specification (8.1.12.2 Memory Device PCIe Capabilities and Extended Capabilities) the Device Serial Number capability is mandatory. Emit it for user tooling to identify devices. It is reasonable to ask whether the attribute should be added to the list of PCI sysfs device attributes. The PCI layer can optionally emit it too, but the CXL subsystem is aiming to preserve its independence and the possibility of CXL topologies with non-PCI devices in it. To date that has only proven useful for the 'cxl_test' model, but as can be seen with seen with ACPI0016 devices, sometimes all that is needed is a platform firmware table to point to CXL Component Registers in MMIO space to define a "CXL" device.

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.
