Looking at the PAPR spec - I do agree that it states the same. i.e.
The "0" Initial PE state means the "Not Reset", "Load/Store allowed" &
"DMA allowed" (Normal Operations).

It's new to me, but could you help explain the user visible effect
of what gets broken. Since this looks like pseries_eeh_get_state() has
always been like this when it got first implemented.
Is there also a unit test somewhere which you are testing?

IIUC eeh_pe_get_state() was implemented[1] for supporting EEH for VFIO PCI
devices. i.e. the VFIO_EEH_PE_GET_STATE operation of VFIO EEH PE ioctl op
uses pseries_eeh_get_state() helper to query PE state on pseries LPAR.
So are you suggesting that EEH functionality for VFIO PCI device was
never enabled/tested before on pseries?

Checking the powernv side of implementation I do see that it does
enables the EEH_STATE_[MMIO|DMA]_ENABLED flags in the result mask for
the callers. So doing the same for pseries eeh get state implementation
does look like the right thing to do here IMO.

You say this is "fixes" so I am also assuming you are also looking for
stable backports of this? If yes - could you please also add the "Fixes"
tag and cc stable?
