cxl: docs/devices Fix typos and clarify wording in device-types.rst
Fix several typos and improve comment clarity in the CXL device types docs: "w/" replaced with "with" "sill" -> "still" "The allows" -> "This allows" "capacity" corrected to "capable" "more devices" corrected to "more upstream devices" in MLD description These changes improve readability and enhance the documentation quality.
