Yes, AER error status registers are Sticky and Write-1-to-clear. If we 
does not read them after reset_subordinates, the registers will be 
cleared in pci_error_handlers, e.g. nvme_err_handler

   slot_reset() => nvme_slot_reset()
     pci_restore_state()
       pci_aer_clear_status()

Will add the reason in commit log.

Will do.

Yes. As @Keith pointed, aer_get_device_fatal_error_info() is copied from 
  aer_get_device_error_info(), I will try to add a helper to reduce 
duplication.

Sorry, I missed this line, will remove it.

Will remove it.

Thank you for valuable comments.
