Yes, _RST method works but not SBR. The _RST method in DSDT-AML uses
platform-specific initialization steps outside of the GPU BARs for resetting
the GPU device.

It is a hardware implementation specific issue. GPU end-point device
is inoperative after receiving SBR from the RP/SwitchPort. This quirk is
to prevent SBR.

We have not seen any issue with Linux SBR implementation.

Thanks, I will move next to the existing NO_BUS_RESET quirks.
