The 'entry' pointer in cdat_sslbis_handler() is set to header +
sizeof(common header). However, the math missed the addition of the SSLBIS
main header. It should be header + sizeof(common header) + sizeof(*sslbis).

Fixes: 80aa780dda20 ("cxl: Add callback to parse the SSLBIS subtable from CDAT")

Insert form letter => "please document the user visible effects of the
bug in the changelog, please give some breadcrumbs to -stable and
backporters about this fix." A "how found" note usually helps to clarify
the impact of the bug.

This looks way too fragile, what about something like:

struct acpi_cdat_ssblis_table {
	struct acpi_cdat_header header;
	struct acpi_cdat_ssblis ssblis_header;
	struct acpi_cdat_sslbe entries[];
} *tbl = (struct acpi_cdat_ssblis_table *) header;

for (i = 0; i < entries; i++) {
	u16 x = le16_to_cpu((__force __le16)tlb->entries[i].portx_id);
...

...then you can also use struct_size() to validate the size of the table
relative to the number of entries.
