PCI doesn't define 'timeout'/'number of retries' for reconnect of the controller.
And the controller shuts down immediately if controller times out while starting.
NVME_CTRL_CONNECTING state used as transition state in the
nvme_reset_work() procedure to save similarities with fabric transports.
See below quotes from pci.c

1. 
----------------------------------------------------
Quote from nvme_timeout() function (pci.h)
	/*
	 * Shutdown immediately if controller times out while starting. The
	 * reset work will see the pci device disabled when it gets the forced
	 * cancellation error. All outstanding requests are completed on
	 * shutdown, so we return BLK_EH_DONE.
	 */
	switch (dev->ctrl.state) {
	case NVME_CTRL_CONNECTING:
		nvme_change_ctrl_state(&dev->ctrl, NVME_CTRL_DELETING);
		/* fall through */
----------------------------------------------------
2.
----------------------------------------------------
Quote from nvme_reset_work() function (pci.h)
	/*
	 * Introduce CONNECTING state from nvme-fc/rdma transports to mark the
	 * initializing procedure here.
	 */
	if (!nvme_change_ctrl_state(&dev->ctrl, NVME_CTRL_CONNECTING)) {
----------------------------------------------------
