 Thanks Alex for reviewing this patch.
 I have added Fixes tag and sent this patch separately.

 Should I update this patch series or you are planning to review the
 other patches first of this patch series first.

 I have removed the warning in the updated patch.

 I have added this point in the commit message of the updated patch.

 I have set D0 state before calling pci_try_reset_function() in
 the updated patch.

 I have made the changes to wake-up the devices.
