[PATCH v2] Documentation: PCI: pci-error-recovery: swap sequence between MMIO Enabled and Link Reset
From: Wesley Sheng
Date: Thu Jul 01 2021 - 23:22:56 EST
Reset_link() callback function (named with reset_subordinates()
in pcie_do_recovery() function) was called before mmio_enabled(),
so exchange the sequence between step 2 MMIO Enabled and step 3
Link Reset accordingly.
