Hmm, I thought the return codes were pretty consistent. -ENOTTY means that the reset callback doesn't handle the device, move on. Many ioctls use the same return code to indicate an unknown ioctl. This allows us to differentiate success vs error vs unhandled. In the code below we lose the ability to, for instance, have a device specific reset that returns -EINVAL to prevent the PCI core for triggering further reset mechanisms which might be broken on the device. So, I don't see that this patch specifically fixes anything, but it does remove what seems like useful functionality... I'd veto it.
