This means that non GPL drivers will reimplement these functions
on their own (which is possible, just ugly) The fallout of them getting that wrong
might be significant.
I would change it back. _GPL should be only for core services, not
for generic driver interfaces.

I hope it's clear from the context this is PCI-E specific?

Make all the unknown error bits a NULL and use a sprintf in the
decoder instead.
Similar for the following arrays.

KERN_ERR? THis means it will appear on consoles, won't it?
And surely not all these errors are fatal enough to need user attention
immediately and I bet there will be some devices who report these
errors unnecessarily. I would use a lower log level.
Also I would suggest you add something in the documentation
on what the messages mean exactly and how to decode them. I'm sure that will be a FAQ.
