Looks like I messed up this comment; this is only true of
RESET_TYPE_MCDI_TIMEOUT, not RESET_TYPE_MC_BIST.
So should be something like:

    /* RESET_TYPE_MCDI_TIMEOUT is actually a method, not just a reason, but
    * it doesn't fit the scope hierarchy (not well-ordered by inclusion).
    * We encode this by having its enum value be greater than
    * RESET_TYPE_MAX_METHOD. This also prevents issuing it with
    * efx_ioctl_reset.
    */
