I disagree the test case is valid. The test writes '0' to the pci-sysfs 'enable', but the driver also disables the pci device as part of resetting, which is a perfectly reasonable thing for a driver to do. If the timing of the test's loop happens to write '0' right after the driver disabled the device that it owns, a 'write error' on that sysfs write occurs, and blktests then incorrectly claims the test failed.
