I've posted a patch to address such issues on Mar 31, just haven't
gotten around to respin it with a proper commit message:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pci/20200331130139.46oxbade6rcbaicb@xxxxxxxxx/

I've solved it by moving the reset lock into struct pci_slot.
I think that's simpler than adding two callbacks.

Do you think the AER deadlock could be fixed based on my approach?

Thanks,

Lukas
