Hi Sathyanarayanan,

The current implementation and the previous implementation are all first 
read and then write to clear the status. Currently just be consistent 
with them:
 - aer_enable_rootport()
 - pci_aer_raw_clear_status()
 - pcibios_plat_dev_init() in arch/mips/pci/pci-octeon.c
 - commit fd3362cb73de ("PCI/AER: Squash aerdrv_core.c into aerdrv.c")
   pci_cleanup_aer_uncorrect_error_status

Thanks,

I will add details and improve commit log in next version.
