Plan to add below comments, let me know if it's unclear for you:

"If there is another ANFE between reading uncor_status and clearing
PCI_ERR_COR_ADV_NFAT bit in cor_status register, that ANFE isn't
recorded in info->anfe_status. It will be read out as NFE in next
uncor_status register reading and processed by NFE handler."
