It is used here to identify CXL memory devices and limit the
enablement to those. The spec requires this to be set for CXL mem devs
(see cxl 3.0, 8.1.12.2).

There could be other CXL devices (e.g. cache), but other drivers are
not yet implemented. That is what I am referring to. The check makes
sure there is actually a driver with a handler for it (cxl_pci).

I actually mean CXL device in RCD mode here (seen as RCiEP in the PCI
hierarchy).

The spec says (cxl 3.0, 8.1.3):

"""
In either case [(RCD and non-RCD)], the capability, status, and
control fields in Device 0, Function 0 DVSEC control the CXL
functionality of the entire device.
"""

So dev 0, func 0 must contain a CXL PCIe DVSEC. Thus it is a CXL
device and able to handle CXL AER errors. The limitation to the first
device prevents the handler from being run multiple times for the same
event.

Right, same here, this is restricted mode only.

Thanks for review.
