You didn't answer the question, I didn't ask about pci_probe_*() I
asked why doesn't pci_reset_supported() directly block the actual
reset?

Should we be adding:

@@ -5919,6 +5919,9 @@ int __pci_reset_bus(struct pci_bus *bus)
  */
 int pci_reset_bus(struct pci_dev *pdev)
 {
+       if (!pci_reset_supported(pdev))
+               return -EOPNOTSUPP;
+
        return (!pci_probe_reset_slot(pdev->slot)) ?
            __pci_reset_slot(pdev->slot) : __pci_reset_bus(pdev->bus);

And maybe more?
