I guess this is talking about a sysfs file?  If so, maybe mention that
explicitly in the subject and commit log.

I don't know how you decided to capitalize CXL initialisms and not
"pcie", but I usually use "PCIe".

Is there always at most one cxl_root?  Seems worth a one-line comment
at the static data item, since in the world of devices, data is
usually in a per-device struct, not in a single static item.

Is there any way to create this with an attribute group that the sysfs
infrastructure adds automatically?  I'm not suggesting you have a race
condition here, but using the sysfs infrastructure avoids a lot of
potential problems.
