pci_slot_reset() function itself has dependency on hotplug ops. So
what kind of slot reset is needed for non-hotplug case?

static int pci_slot_reset(struct pci_slot *slot, int probe)
{
	int rc;

	if (!slot || !pci_slot_resetable(slot))
		return -ENOTTY;

	if (!probe)
		pci_slot_lock(slot);

	might_sleep();

	rc = pci_reset_hotplug_slot(slot->hotplug, probe);

	if (!probe)
		pci_slot_unlock(slot);

	return rc;
}

static int pci_reset_hotplug_slot(struct hotplug_slot *hotplug, int probe)
{
	int rc = -ENOTTY;

	if (!hotplug || !try_module_get(hotplug->owner))
		return rc;

	if (hotplug->ops->reset_slot)
		rc = hotplug->ops->reset_slot(hotplug, probe);

	module_put(hotplug->owner);

	return rc;
}
   And we shouldn't do it here in reset_link(), that's

I agree.
