I think Bjorn's suggestion is to divide it into two logical patches.
One for printing the error and another to clear the UNCOR_STATUS
properly. But currently you have split the UNCOR_STATUS status caching and
clearing process into two patches. IMO, your first patch can store ANFE
status and clear it. You can add print support in the second patch. 


Code wise it looks fine to me. You can add my Reviewed-by after fixing
the typos
