I would reorder this patch to be after you move the function to
aer_cxl_rch.c. Then the subjects could be more like this, which would
be a better match for the history:

PCI/AER: Move CXL RCH error handling to aer_cxl_rch.c
PCI/AER: Use guard() in cxl_rch_handle_error_iter()

I expect CXL content in drivers/pci/ to be mostly incidental, so I
think prefixes like "PCI/AER" or "PCI/ERR" are probably appropriate,
and "CXL" can appear in the rest of the line if relevant.

The comment seems worth keeping.
