Currently, pcie_clear_device_status() clears the entire PCIe Device
Status register (PCI_EXP_DEVSTA) by writing back the value read from
the register, which affects not only the error status bits but also
other writable bits.

According to PCIe Base Specification r7.0, sec 7.5.3.5 (Device Status
Register), this register contains:

- RW1C error status bits (CED, NFED, FED, URD at bits 0-3): These are
  the four error status bits that need to be cleared.

- Read-only bits (AUXPD at bit 4, TRPND at bit 5): Writing to these
  has no effect.

- Emergency Power Reduction Detected (bit 6): A RW1C non-error bit
  introduced in PCIe r5.0 (2019). This is currently the only writable
  non-error bit in the Device Status register. Unconditionally
  clearing this bit can interfere with other software components that
  rely on this power management indication.

- Reserved bits (RsvdZ): These bits are required to be written as
  zero. Writing 1s to them (as the current implementation may do)
  violates the specification.

To prevent unintended side effects, modify pcie_clear_device_status()
to only write 1s to the four error status bits (CED, NFED, FED, URD),
leaving the Emergency Power Reduction Detected bit and reserved bits
unaffected.

Isn't there one too many blanks before each of the PCI_EXP_DEVSTA_* macros?

The available space would be sufficient to accommodate two macros per line,
so just 2 instead of 4 lines for the macros.

Otherwise this is:

Sure, will send a new patch to fix it.

Thanks.
