I checked the current usage of pcie_has_flr() and pcie_flr(). I have a 
couple
of questions or need some clarification.

1. pcie_has_flr() usage inside pci_probe_reset_function().

    This function is only calling pcie_has_flr() but not pcie_flr().
    Rest of the code is trying to do specific type of reset except 
pcie_flr().

         rc = pci_dev_specific_reset(dev, 1);
         if (rc != -ENOTTY)
                 return rc;
         if (pcie_has_flr(dev))
                 return 0;
         rc = pci_af_flr(dev, 1);
         if (rc != -ENOTTY)
                 return rc;

    In other-words, I can remove usage of pcie_has_flr() in all other places
    in pci.c except in above function.

2. W.r.t pcie_flr(), I am planning to return error code. Currently, the 
following
    file/modules are calling this function. My plan is to add a check 
for return
    code and print a WANRING message if return code is NON-ZERO. I hope 
this is
    sufficient for this patch.

    drivers/crypto/qat/qat_common/adf_aer.c
    drivers/infiniband/hw/hfi1/chip.c (2 places)
    drivers/net/ethernet/cavium/liquidio/lio_vf_main.c
    drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbe/ixgbe_main.c (2 places)
    drivers/pci/quirks.c (2 places)

Cheers
GOVINDA
