Re: [PATCH v9] PCI: Add device-specific reset for Qualcomm devices

[sashiko-bot@kernel.org]

> Some Qualcomm PCIe devices (WCN6855/WCN7850 WiFi cards, SDX62/SDX65 modems)
> lack working reset methods for VFIO passthrough scenarios. These devices
> have no FLR capability, advertise NoSoftRst+ (blocking PM reset), and have
> broken bus reset.
> 
> The problem manifests in VFIO passthrough scenarios:
> 
> - WCN6855 WiFi card (17cb:1103): Normal VM operation works fine, including
>   clean shutdown/reboot. However, when the VM terminates uncleanly
>   (crash, force-off), VFIO attempts to reset the device before it can
>   be assigned to another VM. Without a working reset method, the device
>   remains in an undefined state, preventing reuse.
> 
> - WCN7850 WiFi card (17cb:1107): Same behavior as WCN6855.
> 
> - SDX62/SDX65 5G modems (17cb:0308): Never successfully initialize even
>   on first VM assignment without proper reset capability.
