Both of these problems are to addressed by work in progress patches to
delay dport enumeration until a cxl_memdev is registered beneath that
leg of CXL topology.

I would prefer to focus on that solution and skip these band-aids in
the near term unless there is an urgent need that makes it clear that
waiting for v6.16 is not tenable.
