Please provide more detailed information about the hardware and BIOS
affected by this.

This change of moving dpc_is_surprise_removal() into
dpc_handle_surprise_removal() seems unrelated to the problem at hand.

Please drop it if it's unnecessary to fix the issue.

This seems to be the only necessary change.  Please reduce the
patch to contain only it and no other refactoring.

Please capitalize the "PCI/EDR: " prefix in the subject and add
a Fixes tag.
