I'm sorry but this explanation is not different from the previous
version. Please provide a better explanation of the problem, why it is
needed, which VFs need and can't reset themselves, how and why it worked
before e.t.c.

In addition, please follow kernel submission guidelines, write
changelong, add versions, cover letter e.t.c.

Thanks
