To include important words first and use "Type 3" as in spec:
cxl/mem: Add Type 3 mailbox driver

For consistency:
cxl/acpi: Add _OSC support
It's conventional in drivers/acpi and drivers/pci to capitalize the
"ACPI" and "PCI" initialisms except in actual C code. Seems like
you're mostly doing the same with "CXL", except in the subject lines
above. Since you're making a new directory, I guess you get to
choose.
I use "PCIe" (not "PCIE" or "PCI-E"; you have a mix) because that
seems to be the official abbreviation.
