The line numbers are basically useless because they depend on some
particular version of the file.

This code (even before your patch) doesn't match
Documentation/PCI/pci-error-recovery.rst very well.  The code handles
pci_channel_io_frozen specially, but I don't think this is mentioned
in the doc.

The doc says we call ->error_detected() for all affected drivers.
Then we're supposed to do a slot reset if any driver returned
NEED_RESET.  But in fact, we always do a reset for the
pci_channel_io_frozen case and never do one otherwise, regardless of
what ->error_detected() returned.

The doc says DISCONNECT means "Driver ... doesn't want to recover at
all." Many drivers can return either NEED_RESET or DISCONNECT, and I
assume they expect them to be handled differently.  But I'm not sure
what DISCONNECT really means.  Do we reset the device?  Do we not
attempt recovery at all?

After your patch, if the reset_link() succeeded, we convert DISCONNECT
and NO_AER_DRIVER to RECOVERED.  IIUC, that means we do exactly the
same thing if the consensus of the ->error_detected() functions was
RECOVERED, DISCONNECT, or NO_AER_DRIVER: we call reset_link() and
continue with "status = PCI_ERS_RESULT_RECOVERED".

(I'd reverse the sense of the "if (reset_link())" to make this easier
to read)
