Sorry Jesse, I did not see this until now. There is some problem with my email I was not aware of - many emails did not go into my inbox.
Given there are many reset methods, checking for actual BAR restore is more reliable and less testing for a various reset methods. We can potentially add checks for completion in pcie_flr() since that's easy to do.
Eric/Jean, do you have other comments?

Applied, but I don't think I got an answer as to why we don't do this delay/check when we perform the FLR in the first place?
