I can't reproduce your issue here at linux-next (+ my pending doc patches).

So, I can only provide you some hints.

If you see the logs you posted, all of them are related to duplicated
labels inside the same file.

-

The new Sphinx module we're using (sphinx.ext.autosectionlabel) generates
references for two levels, within the same document file (after this patch).


Looking at the first document (at linux-next version), it has:

1) A first level document title:

   Coherent Accelerator Interface (CXL)

2) Several second level titles:

   Introduction
   Hardware overview
   AFU Modes
   MMIO space
   Interrupts
   Work Element Descriptor (WED)
   User API
   Sysfs Class
   Udev rules

Right now, there's no duplication, but if someone adds, for example, 
another first-level or second-level title called "Interrupts", then 
the file will produce a duplicated label and Sphinx will warn.

The same would happen if someone adds another title (either first
level or second level) called "Coherent Accelerator Interface (CXL)",
as this will conflict with the document title.

-

Now, if the title "Coherent Accelerator Interface (CXL)" got removed,
then "Introduction".."Udev rules" will become first level titles.

Then, the sections at the "User API": "open", "ioctl"... will become
second level titles and it will produce lots of warnings.

-

That's said, IMHO, this document needs section titles for the two
sections under "User API". Adding it would allow removing the document
title. See enclosed.

Thanks,
Mauro

powerpc: docs: cxl.rst: mark two section titles as such

The User API chapter contains two sub-chapters. Mark them as
such.
