Agree. Few more detail about the above issue is,

There are two cases under FATAL error.

FATAL + hotplug - In this case, link will be reseted. And hotplug handler
will remove the driver state. This case works well with current code.

FATAL + no-hotplug - In this case, link will still be reseted. But
currently driver state is not properly restored. So I attempted
to restore it using pci_reset_bus().

  		status = reset_link(dev);
-		if (status != PCI_ERS_RESULT_RECOVERED) {
+		if (status == PCI_ERS_RESULT_RECOVERED) {
+			status = PCI_ERS_RESULT_NEED_RESET;

...

  	if (status == PCI_ERS_RESULT_NEED_RESET) {
  		/*

+		 * TODO: Optimize the call to pci_reset_bus()

  		 */
+		pci_reset_bus(dev);

But as per error recovery documentation, any call to
->error_detected() or ->mmio_enabled() can request
PCI_ERS_RESULT_NEED_RESET. So we need to add code
to do the actual reset before calling ->slot_reset()
callback. So call to pci_reset_bus() fixes this
issue.

  	if (status == PCI_ERS_RESULT_NEED_RESET) {
+		pci_reset_bus(dev);
