A bit of anti macro commentary below.  Heavy use of them may make the code
shorter, but I'd argue they make it harder to do review if you've not looked
at a given bit of code for a while.

Also there is a bit of documentation in here for flags that don't seem to
exist (at this stage anyway) - may just be in the wrong patch.

As below, I'm doubtful about the macro magic and would rather see the
long hand version. It's a fwe more characters but I can immediately see if fields
are in the right places etc and we can skip the 0 default values.

static struct cxl_mem_command mem_commands[] = {
	[CXL_MEM_COMMAND_ID_IDENTIFY] = {
		.info = {
			.id = CXL_MEM_COMMAND_ID_IDENTIFY,
			.size_out = 0x43,
		},
		.opcode = CXL_MBOX_OP_IDENTIFY,	
	},
};

Still it's your driver and I guess I'll guess I can probably get my head around
this macro..

Unless there are going to be a lot of these, I'd just write them out long hand
as much more readable than the macro magic.

enum {
	CXL_MEM_COMMAND_ID_INVALID,
	CXL_MEM_COMMAND_ID_IDENTIFY,
	CXL_MEM_COMMAND_ID_MAX
};

static const struct {
	const char *name;
} cxl_command_names[] = {
	[CXL_MEM_COMMAND_ID_INVALID] = { "Invalid Command" },
	[CXL_MEM_COMMAND_ID_IDENTIFY] = { "Identify Comamnd" },
	/* I hope you never need the Last command to exist in here as that sounds like a bug */
};

That's assuming I actually figured the macro fun out correctly.
To my mind it's worth doing this stuff for 'lots' no so much for 3.

Doesn't correspond to the flags defined below.  If introduced in a later patch

Why give it a name?  It's just an id!

That flag doesn't seem to be defined below.

Silly point, but perhaps distinguish it's the payload that is in little endian order
not the pointer.  (I obviously haven't had enough coffee today and missread it)
