You are right, I felt off-track.

@Jijie: how can 'reset_type' be set to an unsupported value?!? I don't
see that in the code, short of a memory corruption on uninit problem.
Are you sure you are not papering over a different issue here? At least
some more info (either in the commit description or in a code comment)
is IMHO needed. Otherwise you should probably catch that before
hclge_reset_err_handle() time.

Thanks!
