PCI: Enable SERR# forwarding for all bridges
As per Figure 6-3 in PCIe r4.0, sec 6.2.6, ERR_ messages will be forwarded from the secondary interface to the primary interface, if the SERR# Enable bit in the Bridge Control register is set. It seems clear that an ACPI hotplug parameter method (_HPP or _HPX) that tells us to "enable SERR in the command register" (ACPI v6.2, sec 6.2.8, 6.2.9.1) refers to PCI_COMMAND_SERR, which enables reporting of errors by the function itself. For bridges, we also interpreted that to mean we should enable PCI_BRIDGE_CTL_SERR, which enables *forwarding* of errors by the bridge. But we didn't enable PCI_BRIDGE_CTL_SERR anywhere else, which means we never enabled it for non-ACPI systems or ACPI systems that didn't supply hotplug parameters. That means errors reported below bridges were often never forwarded up to a Root Port where they could be signaled via AER. Enable PCI_BRIDGE_CTL_SERR for all bridges so we can get better error reporting for downstream devices.
