Ideally, we have to provide default handler for every such device (I am planning it for some future updates). It should be the same as for routing operations - if the standard feature exists, it has to be used unless something else takes over.
Yes, therefore I thought that: or the EM_OPS are per driver, or they can be integrated in the switch hooks list.
For now I keep all port-write messages from end-points serviced by their individual drivers. One of reasons for this: the EM PW message format
Maybe have a generic rio function that can be called by any driver that knows a particular port-write was due to error management causes? This function would read the standard defined EF block registers. Then the driver part can be quite small.

Oops, I meant this comment for the em_init function call.

Why?

Why not declare these along with the other ops?Because the EM extensions is a separate capability. It is not guaranteed to be in every switch.
They might initialize them with NULL to indicate they don't support it? Micha
