Yes, that's normal and expected. The rationale is that we only know that link or presence has changed. It could even have changed multiple times. Even if the link is now back up, we don't know if it's still the same card. So the slot is brought down and if it's currently occupied or the link is up, the slot is brought up again. It would of course be possible to come up with more complicated schemes to try to handle odd behavior such as a belated presence change after a link change, but then it also becomes more complicated to reason about the scheme's correctness and ensure that other types of odd behavior (such as presence hardwired to zero) are still handled correctly.
