Currently, the PCIe AER subsystem does not enable AER in the PCIe
Endpoints via the Device Control register. It's only done for the
Root Port and all PCIe Ports in between the Root Port and the
Endpoint(s). Some device drivers enable AER in their PCIe device by
directly calling pci_enable_pcie_error_reporting(). But in most
cases, AER is currently disabled in the PCIe Endpoints.

This patch enables AER on PCIe Endpoints now as well in
set_device_error_reporting(). This will make the ad-hoc calls to
pci_enable_pcie_error_reporting() superfluous.

Hm... maybe another question to discussion: Why enabling of AER is
limited just to above PCIe port types? Why we do not want to enable it
for _all_ PCIe devices? Currently in the above list are missing Legacy
endpoints (which probably do not support AER and so do not have AER
capability in config space), Root Complex Integrated Endpoints (these
should provide AER supports too, right?), PCIe to PCI/X Bridges (these
may generate its own AER errors) and PCI to PCIe Bridges (these are
maybe complicated as subtree behind such bridges are regular PCIe
devices and so could fully support AER but on legacy PCI bus there is
probably no access to extended config space where is AER). But in all of
these cases, are there any issues with enabling AER via function
pci_enable_pcie_error_reporting()? For me it looks like that in the
worst case dev just does not have AER capability in config space or
extended config space is not accessible (which is same as no AER
capability).

I also had similar thoughts on this and was a bit unsure here. Perhaps
Bjorn can also comment. But...

... I noticed that AER is still disabled for hot-plugged PCIe devices.
As this code patch will not get called in this HP case. Right now I'm
testing with this patch here, which could be used instead of this one
from this mail:

    PCI/AER: Enable AER on all PCIe devices supporting it

    With this change, AER is now also enabled for hot-plugged PCIe devices
    as pci_aer_init() is also called upon hot-plugging of a PCIe device.
    When "pci=noaer" is selected, AER stays disabled of course.

This has the same effect of enabling AER in each PCIe Endpoint and
also is available for hot-plugged Endpoints. If nobody objects, I'll
probably use this patch as patch 2/2 in the next patchset version.

Comments welcome as always.

Thanks,
Stefan
