The find_cxl_root() helper is used to lookup root decoders and other CXL platform topology information for a given endpoint. It turns out that for RCDs it has never worked. The result of find_cxl_root(&cxlmd->dev) is always NULL for the RCH topology case because it expects to find a cxl_port at the host-bridge. RCH topologies only have the root cxl_port object with the host-bridge as a dport. While there are no reports of this being a problem to date, by inspection region enumeration should crash as a result of this problem, and it does in a local unit test for this scenario. However, an observation that ever since: commitf17b558d66("cxl/pmem: Refactor nvdimm device registration, delete the workqueue") ...all callers of find_cxl_root() occur after the memdev connection to the port topology has been established. That means that find_cxl_root() can be simplified to a walk of the endpoint port topology to the root. Switch to that arrangement which also fixes the RCD bug.

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.
