Currently the kernel does not handle AER errors for Root Complex integrated
End Points (RCiEPs)[0]. These devices sit on a root bus within the Root Complex
(RC). AER handling is performed by a Root Complex Event Collector (RCEC) [1]
which is a effectively a type of RCiEP on the same root bus.

For an RCEC (technically not a Bridge), error messages "received" from
associated RCiEPs must be enabled for "transmission" in order to cause a
System Error via the Root Control register or (when the Advanced Error
Reporting Capability is present) reporting via the Root Error Command
register and logging in the Root Error Status register and Error Source
Identification register.

In addition to the defined OS level handling of the reset flow for the
associated RCiEPs of an RCEC, it is possible to also have a firmware first
model. In that case there is no need to take any actions on the RCEC because
the firmware is responsible for them. This is true where APEI [2] is used
to report the AER errors via a GHES[v2] HEST entry [3] and relevant
AER CPER record [4] and Firmware First handling is in use.

We effectively end up with two different types of discovery for
purposes of handling AER errors:

1) Normal bus walk - we pass the downstream port above a bus to which
the device is attached and it walks everything below that point.

2) An RCiEP with no visible association with an RCEC as there is no need to
walk devices. In that case, the flow is to just call the callbacks for the actual
device.

A new walk function, similar to pci_bus_walk is provided that takes a pci_dev
instead of a bus. If that dev corresponds to a downstream port it will walk
the subordinate bus of that downstream port. If the dev does not then it
will call the function on that device alone.

pci_dbg(dev, "broadcast resume message\n");
- pci_walk_bus(bus, report_resume, &status);
+ pci_walk_dev_affected(dev, report_resume, &status);

- pci_aer_clear_device_status(dev);
- pci_aer_clear_nonfatal_status(dev);

This code had changed a little in Bjorn's pci/next branch so do a rebase on that
before v2.

Will ensure rebase includes pci/next.

Thanks,
