From 9ff25e6b3eb0012297288dfa87930c7b62ef6ab1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bjorn Helgaas Date: Tue, 6 Sep 2016 16:09:19 -0500 Subject: PCI/AER: Remove aerdriver.nosourceid kernel parameter The aerdriver.nosourceid kernel parameter was intended for working around broken chipsets don't supply the source ID for AER events. We recently added PCI_BUS_FLAGS_NO_AERSID, which can be set by quirks for the same purpose. Remove the aerdriver.nosourceid kernel parameter. For anything other than debugging, asking users to find and use kernel parameters is a poor user experience. Instead, we should add PCI_BUS_FLAGS_NO_AERSID quirks for any hardware that needs it.
