Subject: [PATCH] cxl/port: Fix CXL port initialization order when the
 subsystem is built-in

When the CXL subsystem is built-in the module init order is determined
by Makefile order. That order violates expectations. The expectation is
that cxl_acpi and cxl_mem can race to attach. If cxl_acpi wins the race,
cxl_mem will find the enabled CXL root ports it needs. If cxl_acpi loses
the race it will retrigger cxl_mem to attach via cxl_bus_rescan(). That
flow only works if cxl_acpi can assume ports are enabled immediately
upon cxl_acpi_probe() return. That in turn can only happen in the
CONFIG_CXL_ACPI=y case if the cxl_port driver is registered before
cxl_acpi_probe() runs.

Fix up the order to prevent initialization failures. Ensure that
cxl_port is built-in when cxl_acpi is also built-in, arrange for
Makefile order to resolve the subsys_initcall() order of cxl_port and
cxl_acpi, and arrange for Makefile order to resolve the
device_initcall() (module_init()) order of the remaining objects.

As for what contributed to this not being found earlier, the CXL
regression environment, cxl_test, builds all CXL functionality as a
module to allow to symbol mocking and other dynamic reload tests.  As a
result there is no regression coverage for the built-in case.
