Or we can call firmware_first setup code in
pci_enable_pcie_error_reporting(), because

1. I think AER related code should be put in drivers/pci/pcie/aer
instead of PCI core or drivers/acpi, if it is possible.

2. pci_setup_device is called so early, so that it is hard to do some
HEST related initialization (such as checking bad format) before it.
