Why should we loop through each event log here? What if the event
record doesn't exist in the event log?

I got some Mailbox error messages like this while bootup..
[  346.387010] cxl_pci 0000:7f:00.0: Sending command
[  346.387181] cxl_pci 0000:7f:00.0: Doorbell wait took 0ms
[  346.387197] cxl_pci 0000:7f:00.0: Mailbox operation had an error: cmd 
input was invalid
[  346.387205] cxl_pci 0000:7f:00.0: Event log 'Warning': Failed to 
query event records : -6
..

Can we just read the "Event Status" field from Event Status Register
(Device Status Registers Capability Offset + 00h) 8.2.8.3.1 in CXL Spec,
determine if the records exist and just query those event logs?

Thanks,
Smita
