[PATCH v2 1/1] cxl/hdm: Add support for 32 switch decoders

From: Li Ming

Date: Sat Mar 21 2026 - 02:15:39 EST


Per CXL r4.0 section 8.2.4.20.1. CXL host bridge and switch ports can
support 32 HDM decoders. Current implementation misses some decoders on
CXL host bridge and switch in the case that the value of Decoder Count
field in CXL HDM decoder Capability Register is greater than or equal to
9.

Update calculation implementation to ensure the decoder count calculation
is correct for CXL host bridge/switch ports.
