The SERR# enable bit is set in the command register.
The parity error response bit is set in the bridge control register of the secondary interface.
The parity error response bit is set in the command register of the primary interface.
Bridge has not detected the parity error on the secondary (initiator) bus, which the parity
error is not forwarded from the secondary bus to the primary bus.
Assertion of P_SERR# is used to signal the parity error condition when the initiator does not know that
the error occurred. Because the data has already been delivered with no errors, there is no other way to
signal this information back to the initiator. If the parity error has forwarded from the initiating bus to
the target bus, P_SERR# will not be asserted.

DATA PARITY ERROR REPORTING SUMMARY
In the previous sections, the responses of the bridge to data parity errors are presented according to the
type of transaction in progress. This section organizes the responses of the bridge to data parity errors
according to the status bits that the bridge sets and the signals that it asserts.
Table 5-1 shows setting
the detected parity error bit in the status register, corresponding to the primary interface. This bit is set
when the bridge detects a parity error on the primary interface.

Table 5-2 shows setting the detected parity error bit in the secondary status register, corresponding to
the secondary interface. This bit is set when the bridge detects a parity error on the secondary interface.
