[PATCH v6 3/9] cxl/hdm: Add BI coherency support for endpoint decoders

From: Davidlohr Bueso

Date: Mon Jul 27 2026 - 15:45:55 EST


Cache the HDM decoder's Supported Coherency Models on struct cxl_hdm.
Region attach consults this to verify the HDM supports the region's
coherency type.

For uncommitted endpoint decoders, init_hdm_decoder() defaults
target_type from supported_coherency: Type 3 devices default to
HDM-DB when the HDM is device-coherent-only, HDM-H otherwise.

Pre-committed decoders with the BI bit set are not supported because
endpoint and port enumerations are independent -- at decoder
enumeration cxlds->bi is not yet known, so the topology cannot be
verified.
