Nope, you're not missing anything. The return value behavior is exactly
as you describe and the ATI GPUs that advertise NoSoftRst- don't appear
to do any sort of reset when moving them back from D3, so I'm
effectively trying to negate that as a viable reset option. I think
this is what the anything-else return value is meant for. I only return
"I don't support this reset method and don't try any others" after I
verify there are no other options, so if they come out with FLR support,
that would still get precedence. It's a little awkward, but I don't
know how to test whether a reset function was successful. It seems like
it would be device specific. Anyone from AMD reading the list that can
comment on what sort of reset happens on these GPUs for a D3->D0 reset?

Regardless, I don't really expect users other than device assignment,
and my testing indicates that PM reset is useless on these devices for
that. Thanks,

Alex
