Sorry, this binding comments maybe not clear. 
"aer" is just one of the interrupt names from host controller. There are "aer" "pme" and so on for further applications. 
This patch is to fix the Layerscape owning independent aer irq issue. So the 'aer' is used for this patch. The 'intr' will never be used, so removed.
I may remove the 'must include' for mis-understanding.

Thanks!
