Different order then what, and ordering by chip or by reset name?

What do you mean in the "same time"? The resets are just not present
in most of our PCIe HW. In two chips there is only 1 reset in the HW,
and in the 7712 there are 3 resets in the HW. You asked me to
describe all of the resets first at the top level and I have done
that. But none of our chips ever use all four.
