I have a question here, how to understand the relationship EDR & AER ?
somewhere EDR touches AER status without checking _OSC granted bits,
such as
    pci_aer_raw_clear_status(edev);

sometimes EDR calling AER with host->native_aer checked, like

pcie_do_recovery()
{
  ...
  if (host->native_aer || pcie_ports_native) {
		pcie_clear_device_status(dev);
		pci_aer_clear_nonfatal_status(dev);
	}
  ...
}

That is really confusing. could we do some cleanup to eliminate it ?
such as seperate AER code into common code and runtime part.


Thanks,
Ethan
