The ERR_* to be forwarded or not to be forwarded could be decision of the
platform.
hence I think it is best left to firmware to decide if it want to enable this for
particular platform.

I'm not aware of other platforms, can you please give an example of a platform
how it decides to set this in firmware ?

although,
There are 2 cases
Hotplug capable bridge and otherwise.

Yes, what about an RP which supports only AER but doesn't support Hotplug ?
If we have this patch we can set this bit without firmware also.

1) If Firmware sets them, I do not think during enumeraion linux will loose
those settings.

2) I do not see any integration of hotplug with AER currently, so if the PCIe
switch is plugged into Hotplug capable RP, I am not very sure if this functions
get called.

Keith, Lukas and Bjorn any comments ?
Hi all, do you have any inputs on this ?


I have thought more on this..but needs separate discussion hence will be forking the separate thread.
If I choose to make some more patches based on this patch, this patch can remain as is and will be included with your authorship.

Oza.
