DLLSC link down event will remove affected devices/drivers. And link up event
will re-create all devices.

on DLLSC link down event
->pciehp_ist()
   ->pciehp_handle_presence_or_link_change()
     ->pciehp_disable_slot()
       ->__pciehp_disable_slot()
         ->remove_board()
           ->pciehp_unconfigure_device()

on DLLSC link up event
->pciehp_ist()
   ->pciehp_handle_presence_or_link_change()
     ->pciehp_enable_slot()
       ->__pciehp_enable_slot()
         ->board_added()
           ->pciehp_configure_device()
