That table adds bit 7, "DPC config control" to the _OSC control field
and talks about modifying registers in the DPC capability.

It doesn't say anything about firmware-first or about the OS modifying
registers in the AER capability.  But this patch doesn't do anything
related to DPC or _OSC.

This effectively moves the "if (pcie_aer_get_firmware_first())" check
from pci_cleanup_aer_error_status_regs() into one of the callers.  But
there are two other callers: pci_aer_init() and pci_restore_state().
Do they need the change, or do you want to cleanup the AER error
registers there, but not here?
