It is correct. EDR notification is used when firmware retains control
of AER and DPC, but wants OS to handle the recovery action. But,
since EDR (like DPC) also touches the AER registers and depends
on OS supporting AER capability. For example, EDR driver internally
calls pci_aer_raw_clear_status(). So we need at-least ensure that AER
driver code is enabled when exposing support for EDR.
