Am I missing something, or does that mean that this error handler will
be registered for *all* kernels which include this driver? e.g., anyone
using multi_v7_defconfig?

So it seems we need to gate this behind some kind of machine check;
either called from mach-bcm/*, or better, from something that is probed
via device tree. Is it a problem to register this in the probe()
function, like drivers/pci/host/pci-imx6.c?
