Since I've got a current use case for that - could you perhaps tell more
about the whole pci device reset mechanisms ?

In my case I've got a board that wires reset lines to the soc's gpios.
Not sure how exactly to qualify this, but I guess it would count as a
bus wide reset.

Now the big question for me is how to implement that in a board specific
platform driver (which already does setup of gpios and other attached
devices), so we can reset the card in slot X in a generic way.

Any help highly appreciated.
