Hi Dan, if my understanding is correct, the CXL host-bridge detection you mentioned is that iterating all root ports under RCEC associated bus range for RCEC reported VH protocol errors case, and the CXL-type-3 detection is that iterating all CXL-type-3 endpoint under RCEC associated bus range. is it right?
