Hm... maybe another question to discussion: Why enabling of AER is
limited just to above PCIe port types? Why we do not want to enable it
for _all_ PCIe devices? Currently in the above list are missing Legacy
endpoints (which probably do not support AER and so do not have AER
capability in config space), Root Complex Integrated Endpoints (these
should provide AER supports too, right?), PCIe to PCI/X Bridges (these
may generate its own AER errors) and PCI to PCIe Bridges (these are
maybe complicated as subtree behind such bridges are regular PCIe
devices and so could fully support AER but on legacy PCI bus there is
probably no access to extended config space where is AER). But in all of
these cases, are there any issues with enabling AER via function
pci_enable_pcie_error_reporting()? For me it looks like that in the
worst case dev just does not have AER capability in config space or
extended config space is not accessible (which is same as no AER
capability).
