I found this when I read the code and spec. No actual problem.
I have thought it might be sanity to ensure the ERR_COR are not set
if the firmware doesn't ensure this.

In the  PCI Firmware Specification, Rev. 3.3, it mentioned that
firmware must ensure this bit to be cleared if DPC goes native,
so not sure this patch is necessary now.

Thanks,
