No, this is the correct order. The state is originally saved in
pcie_portdrv_probe, and we need to restore to that state in the slot
reset callback. Once the slot has been restored through all the child
drivers, then we need to save the state again for any future error
handling.

I guess they could be squashed, but the problems they're addressing seemed
different enough to warrant separate change logs. The previous patch
just set up the infrastructure for port error callbacks and chaining to
child drivers. This patch is fixing a specific problem to restore the
slot to a usable state.
