Not exactly. In pci_bus_error_reset(), we call pci_slot_reset() only if it's
hotpluggable. But we always call pci_bus_reset() to perform a secondary bus
reset for the bridge. That's what I think is unnecessary for a normal link,
and that's what reset link indicates us to do. The slot reset is introduced
in the process only to solve side effects. (c4eed62a2143, PCI/ERR: Use slot reset if available)

PCI_ERS_RESULT_NEED_RESET indicates that the driver
wants a platform-dependent slot reset and its ->slot_reset() method to be called then.
I don't think it's same as slot reset mentioned above, which is only for hotpluggable
ones.

Previously, if link is normal and the driver reports PCI_ERS_RESULT_NEED_RESET,
we'll only call ->slot_reset() without slot reset in reset_link(). Maybe it's better
to perform just like before.

Thanks.
