yes

for masking individual interrupt events there is just one shared
register for both "intx" and "error" interrupt source.

and also there is also just one shared "cause" register which says which
individual interrupt events happened.

yes, reading does not clear any interrupt event.

yes

to clear individual interrupt event you have to write corresponding 1b
bit into that cause register.

so if interrupts events BIT(24), BIT(16) and BIT(17) happened and
BIT(24), BIT(25), BIT(26), BIT(27) and BIT(16) are unmasked then CPU
receives two interrupts (one for intx:24-27 and one for err:16). kernel
will call interrupt handlers for both intx and err (possible also in
parallel if it unmasked on different CPUs) and each handler just clears
events which process. So writing BIT(16) into cause register clears only
event 16 and all other (24-27, 17) are still active. And level interrupt
(the correct one intx or err) is then triggered again.

From PCIe Root Port point of view, it can be _any_ interrupt which can
PCIe Root Port (as PCI device) reports (it does not have to be PCIe AER
- error). Without this support PCIe Root Port cannot trigger or generate
any interrupt. Note that from PCIe point of view, this Marvell Root Port
never generates INTx interrupt. INTx interrupts are generated only by
endpoint devices. Marvell Root Port reports all events via those
_custom_ Marvell interrupts triggered by "error" source. So "error" here
means "Marvell error", not "PCIe error" (e.g. PCIe AER). For example
also PME events are reported via this "error" source. And PME is not
error.
