IIUC, your concern is whether it is correct to trigger reset for
pci_channel_io_normal case right ? Please correct me if my
assumption is incorrect.

If its true, then why would report_error_detected() will return
PCI_ERS_*_NEED_RESET for pci_channel_io_normal case ? If
report_error_detected() requests reset in pci_channel_io_normal
case then I think we should give preference to it.

Let me know your comments.
