According to Section 9.17.2, Table 9-26 of CXL Specification [1], owner
of AER should also own CXL Protocol Error Management as there is no
explicit control of CXL Protocol error. And the CXL RAS Cap registers
reported on Protocol errors should check for AER _OSC rather than CXL
Memory Error Reporting Control _OSC.

The CXL Memory Error Reporting Control _OSC specifically highlights
handling Memory Error Logging and Signaling Enhancements. These kinds of
errors are reported through a device's mailbox and can be managed
independently from CXL Protocol Errors.

This change fixes handling and reporting CXL Protocol Errors and RAS
registers natively with native AER and FW-First CXL Memory Error Reporting
Control.

I'd be tempted to add a comment on why this returns 0 rather than an
error.  I think that makes sense but it isn't immediately obvious from
the local context.

Otherwise LGTM

Yes, and Dan is probably against returning error code.
https://lore.kernel.org/all/64d1b3e78629f_5ea6e2944@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.notmuch/

But I think returning zero is required as we don't want to interfere with cxl device access when operating in native cxl memory error reporting. Returning error code will basically fail cxl_pci_probe() and thus fail to create a cxl device node.

I was thinking a single line comment as: "Return zero to not block the communication with the cxl device when in native memory error reporting mode".

Agree? Or anything more that needs to be added?

Thanks,
Smita
