I know you didn't name this variable, but wow, that's a horrid name for a global variable :)
Any way you could change this to first fix up the name of the variable to something a bit more "device-specific" first, before this patch?
Perhaps "cxt1e1_error_flag"?

These are fine.

Again, these are bad names, can you do the same thing here?
