Rigth, it should be enough to reset the protocol adapter config and path
config spaces. I guess using discovery at this point is fine too but I
would at least check how complex doing the minimal "reset" turns out.

I mean in tb_switch_reset() for USB4 v1 routers it can go over all the
adapters and perform "cleanup" or so.

Well you are effectively doing that here, no? You "reset" the host
router therefore tying this to the same command line parameter makes
sense and allows user an "escape hatch" if this turns out breaking
things.
