No, I'm actually saying exactly the opposite in the code comments. The
error handling may affect PDC if the port doesn't have an out-of-band
presence detection capability.

Right, but how do you know which PDC is okay to ignore and which one
isn't? Hotplug events freqently trigger other error handling so we can't
just ignore hot plug during error handling. Link events should be safe
to ignore, though.
