With commit [1] upstream that enables AER reporting by default for all PCIe

Before removing the documentation, are the references removed from the
code? I think Bjorn only cleaned up the net drivers.
I have not touched any of the calling code. This popped up because of
CXL RAS enabling. The removal of documentation is the hope to stop new
implementations from calling the function.
