Atleast in the TI DRA7 TRM, I could see only
PCIECTRL_PL_AXIS_SLV_ERR_RESP and PCIECTRL_PL_AXIS_SLV_TIMEOUT register
but no global error response bit. I'd have expected configuring
SLV_ERR_RESP would have disabled error forwarding, but I don't see any
change in behavior if I modify the value of PCIECTRL_PL_AXIS_SLV_ERR_RESP.

TI PCIe controller in DRA7 is not directly connected to AXI/AHB but
there is an intermediary bridge. So I suspect there is some issue on how
the controller is integrated in TI platform. Since the board hangs, I
couldn't get lot of visibility of controller state.

Thanks
