[PATCH 2/4] PCI: quirk AMD/ATI VGA cards to avoid PM reset

From: Alex Williamson
Date: Fri Nov 21 2014 - 13:24:27 EST


Some AMD/ATI GPUs report that they support PM reset (NoSoftRst-) but
initiating such a reset has no apparent affect on the device. The
monitor remains sync'd, the framebuffer contents are retained, etc.
Callers of pci_reset_function() don't necessarily have a way to
validate whether a reset was effective, so we really want to avoid
making use of a known non-effective reset. Returning an error in
such cases appears to be the better option. For users like vfio-pci,
this allows the driver to escalate to the bus reset interfaces.

If a device lives on the root bus, there's really no further
escalation path, so we exempt PM reset as potentially better than
nothing.
