The TSI148 driver provides an optional mechanism for ensuring that errors resulting from posted transfers are caught whilst still relevant. To do this errors are stored in a link list. If bus errors are not checked, this list would grow until available memory had been exhausted. Only store the errors in a link list if error detection is switched on.
