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.
