Per the PCI Firmware spec, r3.2, sec 4.5.1, the OS can request control of
AER via bit 3 of the _OSC Control Field. In the returned value of the
Control Field:
The firmware sets [bit 3] to 1 to grant control over PCI Express Advanced
Error Reporting. ... after control is transferred to the operating
system, firmware must not modify the Advanced Error Reporting Capability.
If control of this feature was requested and denied or was not requested,
firmware returns this bit set to 0.
Previously the pci_root driver looked at the HEST FIRMWARE_FIRST bit to
determine whether to request ownership of the AER Capability. This was
based on ACPI spec v6.3, sec 18.3.2.4, and similar sections, which say
things like:
Bit [0] - FIRMWARE_FIRST: If set, indicates that system firmware will
handle errors from this source first.
Bit [1] - GLOBAL: If set, indicates that the settings contained in this
structure apply globally to all PCI Express Devices.
These ACPI references don't say anything about ownership of the AER
Capability.
Remove use of the FIRMWARE_FIRST bit and rely only on the _OSC bit to
determine whether we have control of the AER Capability.
