I don't want to do anything that will prevent us from adding
per-device ECRC control in the future.
My concern is that if we add a run-time sysfs knob in the future, the
user experience on this hardware will be poor because there's no
convenient path to twiddle the PCIE_ATU_TD bit when the generic code
changes the AER Control bit.
What is the failure mode in these scenarios:
- User boots with defaults, ECRC is disabled.
- User enables ECRC via sysfs.
- What happens here? ECRC is enabled via AER Control but not via
DWC TD bit. I assume ECRC doesn't work. Does it cause PCIe
errors (malformed TLP, etc)?
Or this one:
- User boots with "pci=ecrc=on", ECRC is enabled.
- ECRC works fine.
- User disables ECRC via sysfs.
- What happens here? ECRC is disabled via AER Control, but DWC TD
bit thinks it's still enabled.
If you enabled ECRC unconditionally on DWC and the sysfs knob had no
effect, I'd be OK with that. I'm more worried about what happens when
the AER bit and the DWC TD bit are set so they don't match. What is
the failure mode there?
