The IBM Spyre accelerator (PCI ID 1014:06a7) requires a dedicated warm
reset method for reliable EEH recovery on pSeries/ppc64 platforms.

FLR alone is insufficient because it does not re-initialize firmware
state machine for the current version of the card. The existing API
pci_set_pcie_reset_state() is used to drive the platform-level
PERST# using the EEH interfaces by adding a device specific quirk.

The reset function is placed in arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/pci.c
where the EEH infrastructure is already present, declared in
pseries.h, and registered in the generic pci_dev_reset_methods[] table
in drivers/pci/quirks.c under a CONFIG_PPC_PSERIES guard.

This reset method is only registered when CONFIG_PPC_PSERIES is enabled,
so it is not available on other platforms.

Reset sequence:
- Assert PERST# via pcie_warm_reset, hold 250 ms
- Deassert PERST# via pcie_deassert_reset
- Wait 250 ms for PCIe link retrain

Reworded the commit message to highlight the warm reset requirement being
a need of the current card and not a platform deficiency.

How did you arriver on this number ? Is this time defined by
hardware/firmware specs for reset ? Also, Can you #define the value 250
and use macro instead of constant numbmer.

This was the delay shared by the hardware team derived from their calibrations.

Thanks,
Avinash

same here.
