are you fine with the series? I have also submitted the documentation
update with the changes Dan requested, see this one:

 [PATCH v4 3/3] Documentation/driver-api/cxl: ACPI PRM Address Translation Support and AMD Zen5 enablement

I don't see any open items. Should I resend a v11 with all remaining
reviewed-by tags and the small update in the description of 13/13?
Please let me know.

Thanks,
