Hi Shuai,

With the structure zeroed below (just to make this easier to review, not because
there is a bug as far as I can see)

struct aer_err_info has a bunch of fields. I'd just make sure it's zeroed
to avoid us having to check that they are all filled in. = {};
or do it with the initial values being assigned.

        info = (struct aer_err_info) {
                .err_dev_num = 0,
                .severity = AER_FATAL,
                .level = KERN_ERR,
        };
        add_error_device(&info, dev);
