[PATCH 0/9] PCI: add and use constant PCI_STATUS_ERROR_BITS and helper pci_status_get_and_clear_errors

[Heiner Kallweit]

Few drivers have own definitions for this constant, so move it to the
PCI core. In addition there are several places where the following
code sequence is used:
1. Read PCI_STATUS
2. Mask out non-error bits
3. Action based on set error bits
4. Write back set error bits to clear them

As this is a repeated pattern, add a helper to the PCI core.

Most affected drivers are network drivers. But as it's about core
PCI functionality, I suppose the series should go through the PCI
tree.

[PATCH 1/8] PCI: add constant PCI_STATUS_ERROR_BITS

[Heiner Kallweit]

This constant is used (with different names) in more than one driver,
so move it to the PCI core.

Heiner, something is up with this submission.

The subject line here says 0/9, but the patches say N/8 and patch #8 never
showed up on the list.

Sort out what this should be and resubmit, thank you.
