[+cc Rafael because he knows about dev->state_saved]
Sorry, I'm not very familiar with AER, so please excuse some naive
questions below.

Where does this happen? I looked at all the references to
dev->error_state and all the callers of pci_channel_offline(), and I
didn't see any in .slot_reset() methods.
(There are *assignments* to dev->error_state in qlcnic_attach_func(),
qlge_io_slot_reset(), and qla2xxx_pci_slot_reset(). You might be able
to remove those assignments after this patch, but this patch wouldn't
really change anything for those paths.)

The device's error_state might be pci_channel_io_frozen when we get
here. We haven't touched anything in the hardware yet. What makes
the device unfrozen now? Did anything actually change as far as the
hardware device is concerned?
I agree it looks like report_slot_reset() should be made more like
eeh_report_reset(). I'm just wondering if the error_state should be
changed *after* calling the .slot_reset() method instead of before.

Previously we only restored state for the pci_channel_io_frozen state,
i.e., when handling an AER_FATAL error. Now we restore it always.
Why?

"dev->state_saved == true" means that the dev->saved_config_space
contains valid data. Why do we know that's the case here? I see that
pcie_portdrv_probe() calls pci_save_state() when we first claim the
port, and I guess we're assuming the state saved then is still valid.
But why do we need to actually set dev->state_saved here? Shouldn't
it be already set to true anyway?
