I don't think that's always true.  If I'm reading this right, we have
this:

  get_port_device_capability(...)
  {
  #ifdef CONFIG_PCIEAER
    if (dev->aer_cap && ...)
      services |= PCIE_PORT_SERVICE_AER;
  #endif

    if (pci_find_ext_capability(dev, PCI_EXT_CAP_ID_DPC) &&
        pci_aer_available() &&
        (pcie_ports_dpc_native || (services & PCIE_PORT_SERVICE_AER)))
      services |= PCIE_PORT_SERVICE_DPC;
  }

and in the case where:

  - CONFIG_PCIEAER=y
  - booted with "pcie_ports=dpc-native" (pcie_ports_dpc_native is true)
  - "dev" has no AER capability
  - "dev" has DPC capability

I think we do enable PCIE_PORT_SERVICE_DPC.
