It's true that this is functionally equivalent.

But 20e15e673b05 ("PCI/AER: Add pci_aer_raw_clear_status() to
unconditionally clear Error Status") says pci_aer_raw_clear_status()
is only for use in the EDR path (this should have been included in the
function comment), so I think we should preserve that property and use
pci_aer_clear_status() here.

pci_aer_raw_clear_status() is the same as pci_aer_clear_status()
except it doesn't check pcie_aer_is_native(). And I'm pretty sure we
can't get to aer_enable_rootport() *unless* pcie_aer_is_native(),
because get_port_device_capability() checks the same thing, so they
should be equivalent here.
