You check if log is not NULL here, but you already checked it before
calling the function.

I think you should just move the log allocation to the above function
instead of taking it as a parameter, anyway.

I'm still not a fan of the delayed work. Just use normal work, and remove
the NVME_AER_ERR_FW_IMG_LOAD case.

The above looks potentially racey. The ctrl->ctrl_config is the value
the driver wants to program CC to, not necessarily the current value. If
you're reading it back, that could race with a controller reset and
we'll get the wrong configuration.

Instead of reading the register, I think you can just rely on the value
of ctrl->ctrl_config to be accurate.
