Native CXL protocol errors are delivered to the OS through AER
reporting. The owner of AER owns CXL Protocol error management with
respect to _OSC negotiation.[1] CXL device errors are handled by a
separate interrupt with native control gated by _OSC control field
'CXL Memory Error Reporting Control'.
The CXL driver incorrectly checks for 'CXL Memory Error Reporting
Control' before accessing AER registers and caching RCH downport
AER registers. Replace the current check in these 2 cases with
native AER checks.

Hi Terry, Does this have a user visible impact?

Makes sense, applied.

Saw this after I applied it. It is good feedback in general.
The reason I did not ask for this clarification was that this is fixing
brand new code and was just using the wrong flag, so I had the context.
A backporter will never need to make a judgement call about this patch.
The end user impact is that CXL protocol errors that could be handled by
AER will not be handled if Linux failed to negotiate memory error
handling. Memory errors are strictly related to memory-error-record
events, not protocol errors.

However, to that point the "Fixes:" tag looks wrong, it should be:
f05fd10d138d cxl/pci: Add RCH downstream port AER register discovery

Right, end user impact is RCH error handling will require using native
memory error/event _OSC control inorder for protocol errors to be logged.

Correct, it is f05fd10d138d.
