Back to this specific hunk, what if we made it this?

  struct pci_host_bridge *host = pci_find_host_bridge(dev->bus);

  if (host->native_aer || pcie_ports_native) {
    pcie_clear_device_status(bridge);
    pci_aer_clear_nonfatal_status(bridge);
  }

Previously, if "bridge" didn't have an AER Capability, we didn't
pcie_clear_device_status().  In the case of a DPC bridge without AER,
I think we *should* call pcie_clear_device_status().

Otherwise, I think this should work the same and would be a little
simpler.

Yeah, not worth doing in *this* series.
