I don't know what the point of lpfc_aer_cleanup_state() is. AER
errors should be handled and cleared by the PCI core, not by
individual drivers. Only lpfc, liquidio, and sky2 touch
PCI_ERR_UNCOR_STATUS.
But lpfc_aer_cleanup_state() is visible in the
"lpfc_aer_state_cleanup" sysfs file, so removing it would break any
userspace that uses it.
If we can rely on the PCI core to clean up AER errors itself
(admittedly, that might be a big "if"), maybe lpfc_aer_cleanup_state()
could just become a no-op?
Any comment from the LPFC folks?
Ideally, I would rather not export pci_aer_clear_nonfatal_status() or
pci_aer_clear_uncorrect_error_status() outside the PCI core at all.
