The number of this erratum for each chip is not consistent.
MPC8544: PCIe 4
MPC8548: PCI-Ex 39
MPC8572: PCI-Ex 3

Here is the description of the erratum:
"When its link goes down, the PCI Express controller clears all outstanding transactions with an
error indicator and sends a link down exception to the interrupt controller if
PEX_PME_MES_DISR[LDDD] = 0. If, however, any transactions are sent to the controller
after the link down event, they will be accepted by the controller and wait for the link to come
back up before starting any timeout counters (e.g. completion timeout). There is no mechanism
to cancel the new transactions short of a device HRESET."
For e500mc as Jojy and Guenter described it's like the same erratum on e500, not 100% sure.
For e5500 I don't quite understand yet.
