Seems sensible to me.  Did you find this by code inspection or by
debugging a problem?  If the latter, it would be nice to mention the
symptoms of the problem in the commit log.

Wrap commit log to fill 75 columns.

pcie_clear_device_status() doesn't check for pcie_aer_is_native()
internally, but after 068c29a248b6 ("PCI/ERR: Clear PCIe Device Status
errors only if OS owns AER") and aa344bc8b727 ("PCI/ERR: Clear AER
status only when we control AER"), both callers check before calling
it.

I think we should move the check inside pcie_clear_device_status().
That could be a separate preliminary patch.

There are a couple other places (aer_root_reset() and
get_port_device_capability()) that do the same check and could be
changed to use pcie_aer_is_native() instead.  That could be another
preliminary patch.
