Hi Dan,

Ok. I will move out of enumeration. 

Per the 'undo' request: This is a RCH downstream port (dport) with PCIe root port 
capability. PCI spec states root port error reporting is disabled by default at 
powerup. And SW does *not* enable the root port errors because the RCH dport is *not* 
bound to a root port driver (missing BDF, etc). This mask is added to follow the 
CXL spec precisely and if the rest of the system behaves as expected should not 
be necessary. 

I don't believe masking should be 'undone' in driver detach or elsewhere. Adding 
the 'undo' masking would potentially introduce RCH dport root port interrupt 
reporting which is incorrect for the RCH/RCD mode. Only CXL components (device, 
uport, switch) may reside under the RCH dport and never want RCH dport reporting 
root port errors. RCEC reports the root complex errors in RCH/RCD mode.
