I'm not sure what you mean by VDM? Are you referring to the AER error message that is sent by the part? If so I believe this is being sent because the I210 is either misconfigured or because the platform is violating PCIe spec in some way that is triggering the device to send an error message. Remember the key bit in all of this is the status of the device before you load the driver: > Capabilities: [100 v2] Advanced Error Reporting > UESta: DLP+ SDES- TLP- FCP- CmpltTO- CmpltAbrt- UnxCmplt- > RxOF- MalfTLP- ECRC- UnsupReq- ACSViol- > UEMsk: DLP- SDES- TLP- FCP- CmpltTO- CmpltAbrt- UnxCmplt- > RxOF- MalfTLP- ECRC- UnsupReq- ACSViol- > UESvrt: DLP+ SDES+ TLP- FCP+ CmpltTO- CmpltAbrt- UnxCmplt- > RxOF+ MalfTLP+ ECRC- UnsupReq- ACSViol- > CESta: RxErr- BadTLP- BadDLLP- Rollover- Timeout+ > NonFatalErr- > CEMsk: RxErr- BadTLP- BadDLLP- Rollover- Timeout- > NonFatalErr+ > AERCap: First Error Pointer: 00, GenCap+ CGenEn- ChkCap+ > ChkEn- That DLP+ indicates an error occurred and that the device will send an error message as soon as the bus mastering is enabled. One thing I would recommend trying is clearing the UEsta and UESvrt bits so that they all read as 0, or - in the lspci dump. Then you might try resetting the part via the sysfs reset control and verify that those bits are still cleared. However at this point it seems like this platform you are running the part in has some PCIe issues and that is beyond the scope of what we can really debug from the driver and OS stack. To resolve it you would likely need a PCIe protocol analyzer so you could see what the DLP error actually was.
