[PATCH v3 0/2] cxl: Allow passthrough decoders with >16K granularity

Changes in v3:
- Program the real IG encoding for an encodable non-interleaving granularity
  instead of always writing EIG=0 (RichardC, Sashiko)
- Update Patch 1 commit msg text and this cover letter text per above change

Changes in v2:
- Rebased on Linux 7.2-rc1
- Only v1 feedback was from Sashiko and that was not an issue

Sashiko reported [1] that region setup rejects valid topologies
containing a passthrough decoder beneath a wide parent interleave. In
these configurations, a passthrough decoder can compute a granularity
above the 16K maximum encodable in the interleave granularity (IG)
field even though non-interleaving decoders do not consume that field.

The first patch avoids validating the interleave granularity of
non-interleaving decoders, encodes the IG field as a don't-care
only when the computed granularity is not encodable, and updates
the sysfs ABI documentation accordingly.

The second patch extends cxl-test with a topology that allows a CXL
unit test to cover this case.

A unit test update for this case is posted for review [2].
