Thank you for your review.

It won't infinite loop, due to i incrementing.  If one of these types
appears early in the error_source list, it would prevent us from
seeing the (correct) source types later in the list.

But we can't advance the pointer because we can't know by how much to
advance it.  We could print a debug message.  How about:

printk(KERN_DEBUG PREFIX
       "HEST Error Source list contains an obsolete type.\n");



At some point, the RESERVED type will move to higher number as new
sources are defined in the spec, so that would be different message.
How about:

printk(KERN_DEBUG PREFIX
       "HEST Error Source list contains a reserved type.\n");


and I'll have it print only once.

I prefer to pass the pci_dev rather than 3 or 4 parts thereof down
through the functions.  Several other .c files in drivers/acpi do
likewise.

Yes, but this ACPI table doesn't have a domain / segment number in
it.  Does this test:

        if (p->flags & ACPI_HEST_FIRMWARE_FIRST &&
            (p->flags & ACPI_HEST_GLOBAL ||
             (p->bus      == pci->bus->number &&
              p->device   == PCI_SLOT(pci->devfn) &&
              p->function == PCI_FUNC(pci->devfn))))
                *firmware_first = 1;

need to add an explicit test for && 0 == pci_domain_nr(pci->bus) ?

Good catch.  I'll move the setting of dev->aer_firmware_first into the
PCI device discovery path.  By that point, ACPI is configured and
available.

OK.  This and the next will move as noted above.
