I think Linux is not doing a very good job of extracting error
information.  I think is_error_source() read PCI_ERR_UNCOR_STATUS from
01:00.0 and saw an error logged, but aer_get_device_error_info()
declined to read PCI_ERR_UNCOR_STATUS again because we thought the
link was unusable, so aer_print_error() didn't have any info to print,
hence the "Inaccessible" message.

Are you able to rebuild a kernel with the patch below?  This is based
on v6.16-rc1 and likely wouldn't apply cleanly to your v6.14 kernel.
But if you are able to build v6.16-rc1 with this patch, or adapt it to
v6.14, I'd be interested in the output.
