Why this is needed?

It should be enough, to do simply something like this:

if (tb_switch_is_usb4(tb->root_switch))
tb_switch_reset(tb->root_switch);
If we don't tear down of tunnels before performing the DPR, the PCIe enumeration is failing.

PCIe link is not coming up after DPR. Below log is missing without performing path
deactivation before performing DPR and hence PCIe enumeration is not initiated.

[  746.630865] pcieport 0000:00:03.1: pciehp: Slot(0-1): Card present
[  746.630885] pcieport 0000:00:03.1: pciehp: Slot(0-1): Link Up

I think when we do a DPR, it internally does some handling with PCI Path Enable bit(PE).
So, deactivation of PCIe path is necessary for DPR to work.

Actually this needs to be done only for USB4 v1 routers since we already
reset USB4 v2 hosts so something like:

/*
* Reset USB4 v1 host router to get rid of possible tunnels the
* boot firmware created. This makes sure all the tunnels are
* created by us and thus have known configuration.
*
* For USB4 v2 and beyond we do this in nhi_reset() using the
* host router reset interface.
*/
if (usb4_switch_version(tb->root_switch) == 1)
tb_switch_reset(tb->root_switch);

(possibly add similar comment to the nhi_reset() to refer this one).
Oh, and would it be possible to tie this with the "host_reset" parameter
too somehow? I guess it could be moved to "tb.c" and "tb.h" and then
check it from nhi.c as already done and then here so this would become:

if (host_reset && usb4_switch_version(tb->root_switch) == 1)
tb_switch_reset(tb->root_switch);

Is host_reset necessary for USB4 v1 routers ? I did not use host_reset in this case.
If its needed, then we have to modify to enable host_reset in nhi.c as well.

With the idea that the user has a "chicken bit" to disable this
behaviour (and consistent one with USB4 v2). Feel free to make it look
nicer though.
