The PowerEdge R740xd is a variant of the R740 that also triggers
a fatal PCIe AER event during system reboot. Add it to the DMI
list to apply the same workaround.
Fixes: e0efe83ed325 ("tg3: Disable tg3 PCIe AER on system reboot")

When you look at tg3_restart_aer_quirk_table[] they are all Dell. Are
there any Dell systems which actually work? Would it make sense to
mark all Dell systems as broken and enable the quirk? Then there is no
need to play whack-a-mole.

Do you know if it's safe to apply the quirk to all Dell systems, or should we be cautious and keep the per-model approach? Best regards, Oskar Ray-Frayssinet

You might want to ask on the PCI list.
As far as i see, with 30 seconds for searching and reading
documentation, AER, Advanced Error Reporting is an optional feature of
PCIe. Since it is optional, it seems like disabling it during shutdown
should not have any negative effects. Except for systems where it
actually works, and there are real errors during shutdown and
resume. It will be harder to debug such errors since you don't get the
advanced error report.
