Subject: [PATCH] PCI / PM: Add kerneldoc descrition of pci_pm_reset()

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@...k.pl>

The pci_pm_reset() function is not a very nice interface due to its
limitations and conditional behavior (e.g. it doesn't affect devices
in low-power states), but it cannot be simply dropped, because
existing device drivers may depend on it.  Still, its behavior and
limitations should be well documented, so add an appropriate
kerneldoc comment to it.

+ * pci_pm_reset - Put device into PCI_D3hot and back to PCI_D0.
+ * @dev: Device to reset.
+ * @probe: If set, only check if the device can be reset this way.
+ *
+ * If @dev supports native PCI PM and its PCI_PM_CTRL_NO_SOFT_RESET flag is
+ * unset, it will be reinitialized internally when going from PCI_D3hot to
+ * PCI_D0.  If that's the case and the device is not in a low-power state
+ * already, force it into PCI_D3hot and back to PCI_D0, causing it to be reset.
+ *
+ * NOTE: This causes the caller to sleep for twice the device power transition
+ * cooldown period, which for the D0->D3hot and D3hot->D0 transitions is 10 ms
+ * by devault (ie. unless the @dev's d3_delay field has a different value).
+ * Moreover, only devices in D0 can be reset by this function.
