So the reason I went looking for the interleave_granularity_store()
version of the patch was only because this one when viewed in isolation
has the problem that the root-decoder granularity can only be overridden
to the region granularity when root-decoder interleave ways is 1. 

Is this assumed safe because interleave_granularity_store() is enforcing
that regions must match root-decoder granularity? If "yes", then this
likely wants a "/* See interleave_granularity_store() ... */" like
comment to describe why this override is safe, if "no" then I am missing
something.

What I liked about the idea of putting this in
interleave_granularity_store() is keeping all the simplification
shortcuts and commentary in one place, in case the region interleave !=
root-decoder interleave ban is lifted.

I don't mind doing this fixup in cxl_port_setup_targets(), but would
want the comment per above.
