Documentation does not have clear details on what to do with return
value of reset_link() ( step 3). But IMO, if step 3 recovers the device and
returns PCI_ERS_RESULT_RECOVERED then there is no need to proceed
to slot reset (step 4). May be we should update the Documentation ?

Keith,
You have any comments ?
