Getting the AER information is documented to return 0 when it failed to
get the information.

(But maybe should be restated altogether, see below.)

I think this case is either impossible (if we only call this function
for devices known to support AER), or it fixes an actual bug (the
caller would call aer_print_error() when it shouldn't, and potentially
print garbage).  Right?

If the former, I vote for removing the test.  If the latter, the
changelog should mention that it fixes a bug.

Current code APEI AER and native AER seems a little different.
APEI AER ,the device must have AER capability, then can do recovery.
Native AER seems the device under the ROOT PORT can do not have the
AER capability. Current patch seems can fix the Inconsistency.
But as PCIe 4.0r1.0 6.2.5 Sequence of Device Error Signaling and Logging
Operations describe,It seems the device can implement the Device Status reg,
but do not have AER capability.So for such devices, can we use AER driver to
call device error handler callback to do recovery?

Thanks,
Dongdong

I just spotted this mistake when I was changing the function to
non-static. I've never observed bogus data printed in real life.

In the current AER handling, the only way we could incorrectly get there
is if the root port's Error Source ID Register somehow contains the ID
of a device that doesn't have AER capabilities, which would of course
be broken.

So if we trust hardware, we should are safe to remove the check.

Keith, I'm sorry, but I lost track of where we're at with this series.
Can you repost a fresh version if it's still applicable?

Don't worry about rebasing it to anything other than v4.16-rc1 (my
"master" branch).  I might have added some conflicting things, but
I'll take care of resolving any conflicts.

No problem, I think this is still applicable, and can be done without
conflicting with what Oza and Sinan are working on (it took a few tries,
but it finally clicked for me on how that works).

I'll rebase a new series and should have it posted by end of week.

Thanks,
Keith
