In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

cxl/mem: Fix no cxl_nvd during pmem region auto-assembling

When CXL subsystem is auto-assembling a pmem region during cxl
endpoint port probing, always hit below calltrace.

BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000078

The cxl_nvd of the memdev needs to be available during the pmem region
probe. Currently the cxl_nvd is registered after the endpoint port probe.
The endpoint probe, in the case of autoassembly of regions, can cause a
pmem region probe requiring the not yet available cxl_nvd. Adjust the
sequence so this dependency is met.

This requires adding a port parameter to cxl_find_nvdimm_bridge() that
can be used to query the ancestor root port. The endpoint port is not
yet available, but will share a common ancestor with its parent, so
start the query from there instead.
