what is a "driver handling strategy"? What exactly is this units in?
Any documentation for how to use this?

The unit is the number of times, also means frequency size.
e.g.
In the hisilicon acc engine, First we will time-stamp every slot AER error. Then check the AER error log when the device
AER error occurred. if the device slot AER error count exceeds the preset the number of times in one hour, the isolated state
will be set to true. So the device will be isolated. And the AER error log that exceed one hour will be cleared. Of course,
different strategy can be defined in different drivers.

Ok, can you please explain this better here when you redo the patch
series?
