On this last point I wanted to add that this is a possibility that could 
provide a clearer distinction,
especially where actions need to be taken or not taken as a part of 
pcie_do_recovery(), i.e., bridge versus dev.
In this patch series we have taken steps to minimize the need for the 
distinction by pushing the
awareness into the driver’s error recovery routine, i.e., dev->rcec.  A future 
evolution after this series
could lead to both devices of interest being passed explicitly for the larger 
scope EDR/DPC/AER/etc.

Thanks,

Sean
