That's the assumption based on the AER log, yes.

Me neither but... I can't comment on that. And de-facto, once it does
that, the BE200 replies with the NoSnoop and RlxOrd clear in the TLP
which is then considered as a malformed TLP.

I ... don't think we would do that. The driver would certainly not do
that... Regarding the hardware itself, I can't comment, but I can check
internally.
