Are you suggesting we don't need to call a driver callback after
resetting the device?  Note that the ->slot_reset() doesn't *perform*
a reset; it is called *after* completion of a reset.

The doc says:

  ... Upon completion of slot reset, the platform will call the device
  slot_reset() callback.
  ...
  This call gives drivers the chance to re-initialize the hardware
  (re-download firmware, etc.).  At this point, the driver may assume
  that the card is in a fresh state and is fully functional. The slot
  is unfrozen and the driver has full access to PCI config space,
  memory mapped I/O space and DMA. Interrupts (Legacy, MSI, or MSI-X)
  will also be available.

After we reset a device, the driver certainly needs a chance to
reinitialize it.
