This is a new async message that the firmware can send to check if it can communicate with the driver. This is an added error detection scheme that firmware can use if it suspects errors in the PCIe interface. When the driver receives this async message, it will reply back echoing some data in the async message. If the firmware is not getting the reply with the proper data after some retries, error recovery will kick in.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
