Commit 6d2c89441571 ("PCI/ERR: Update error status after reset_link()")
changed pcie_do_recovery() so that status is updated with the return
value from reset_link(); this was to fix the problem where we would
wrongly report recovery failure, despite a successful reset_link(),
whenever the initial error status is PCI_ERS_RESULT_DISCONNECT or
PCI_ERS_RESULT_NO_AER_DRIVER.

Unfortunately this breaks the flow of pcie_do_recovery() as it prevents

What is the reference to "this breaks" above?

The code change introduced by commit 6d2c89441571; would

   "this code change" instead of "this breaks"

work better? If not, I can also rephrase the whole paragraph along the following lines:

Commit 6d2c89441571 ("PCI/ERR: Update error status after reset_link()") breaks the flow
of pcie_do_recovery() as it prevents the actions needed when the initial error is
PCI_ERS_RESULT_CAN_RECOVER or PCI_ERS_RESULT_NEED_RESET from taking place which causes
error recovery to fail.

... and do away with the first paragraph.

the actions needed when the initial error is PCI_ERS_RESULT_CAN_RECOVER
or PCI_ERS_RESULT_NEED_RESET from taking place which causes error
recovery to fail.

Don't clobber status after reset_link() to restore the intended flow in
pcie_do_recovery().

Fix the original problem by saving the return value from reset_link()
and use it later on to decide whether error recovery should be deemed
successful in the scenarios where the initial error status is
PCI_ERS_RESULT_{DISCONNECT,NO_AER_DRIVER}.

I would rather rephrase the above to make it clear what is being proposed.
Since the description seems to talk about the old problem and new solution
all mixed up.

OK; will do that to clarify that what's being proposed here is:

   1. fix the regression introduced by commit 6d2c89441571
   2. address the problem that commit 6d2c89441571 aimed to fix

why call it post_reset_status?

Perhaps post_reset_status is not a great choice; would reset_result or reset_link_result be better?

... or just do this with a boolean instead as I had it in an earlier iteration of the patch before I
eventually opted to use an pci_ers_result_t.
