Similar to the justification in:
1b58b4cac6 ("cxl/port: Record parent dport when adding ports")
...userspace wants to know the routing information for ports for
calculating the memdev order for region creation among other things.
Cache the information the kernel discovers at enumeration time in a
'parent_dport' attribute to save userspace the time of trawling sysfs
to recover the same information.

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.
