Can you please convert these all to lore.kernel.org links?  lkml.org
is not quite as useful or reliable.

Can you remind us exactly how this relies on hotplug?  I know it
*does*, but I can't remember how.  It would sure be nice if we could
decouple this from pciehp somehow.

We don't restore the state correctly.  What does this look like to the
user?  Does the device not work?

I think PCI_ERS_RESULT_NEED_RESET results in calling driver
->slot_reset() callbacks, right?  Where does the state restoration
happen?

No, I guess it must be something in the hotplug driver that restores
the state, because you said devices below hotplug-capable ports work
correctly, but others don't.

I can't make sense out of the comment.  We already ignore the "status"
from pci_walk_bus(bus, report_frozen_detected, &status).

No idea what to make of the second paragraph.  If we make the commit
log make sense, maybe some summary of that would be useful here.

I think this code is equivalent and makes the patch much clearer:

  status = reset_link(dev);
  if (status == PCI_ERS_RESULT_RECOVERED) {
    status = PCI_ERS_RESULT_NEED_RESET;
  } else {
    status = PCI_ERS_RESULT_DISCONNECT;
    goto failed;
  }
