Hi Oza, Can you please let us know why this should be set by firmware ?
Spec clearly states ERR_CORR,ERR_FATAL/NON FATAL will be forwarded only if this bit is set.
If linux AER service is being enabled without checking/setting this bit, then AER service will 
not do anything even ERR_* is seen on link.
