Per code grepping,  there are two kinds of cases
pci_dev_set_io_state() are called.
1. doesn't care about the return value, just set it to
pci_chnnel_io_perm_failure.
     and later handling depends on dev->error_state,  whatever the
value changed or not.
    pciehp_unconfigure_device()
     -> pci_walk_bus()
         -> pci_dev_set_disconnected()
              ->pci_dev_set_io_state()  with pci_chnnel_io_perm_failure

2.  cares about the return value or the dev->error_state is changed or not. and
   the later handling also depends on if the value of dev->error_state
is changed or not.

    pcie_do_recovery()
    ->pci_walk_bus()
        ->report_frozen_detected()
            ->report_error_detected()
                ->pci_dev_set_io_state()   with pci_channel_io_frozen.

    This case, if the original value was pci_channel_io_frozen, no
need to set it again
     and say it is *changed*.   ----- return true only it is really changed.

    pcie_do_recovery()
    ->pci_walk_bus()
        ->report_resume()
            ->pcI_dev_set_ios_state() with pci_channel_io_normal.

   The same.

    pcie_do_recovery()
    ->pci_walk_bus()
        ->report_normal_detected() with pci_channel_io_normal

    The same.

    I will combat the 'Truth Table'  to keep the original functions
and let it return true
    only when it really changes to avoid re-enter the later handling process.

    Will send v7 for your review.

   Thanks,
