CXL has 24 bit unaligned fields which need to be stored to.  CXL is
specified as little endian.

Define st24_le_p() and the supporting functions to store such a field
from a 32 bit host native value.

The use of b, w, l, q as the size specifier is limiting.  So "24" was
used for the size part of the function name.

Maybe it's clearer to use 24 but if we want to keep these somewhat consistent how about using t for Triplet, Three-bytes or Twenty-four?

Can you also update the "Regexes for git grep" section
below to account for the new size value, please?
