Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see how _RST can work for
plug-in devices.  _RST is part of the system firmware, and that
firmware knows nothing about what will be plugged into the slot.  So
if system firmware supplies _RST that knows how to reset the Nvidia
GPU, it's not going to do the right thing if you plug in an NVMe
device instead.

Can you elaborate on how _RST would work for plug-in devices?  My only
point here is that IF this GPU is ever on a plug-in card, neither _RST
nor SBR would work, so we'd have to use whatever other reset methods
*do* work (I guess only FLR?)

Don't include it as part of this patch.  It's a separate logical
change so should be a separate patch.  We can worry about that later.
