This comment seems incorrect or at least incomplete.  When the device
is in D3cold, it isn't powered at all, so you can't do anything with
it, including FLR.  But maybe you meant that you need to put it in
D3cold and back to D0 before doing an FLR.  That would work.  But in
that case, there's no point in an FLR because the power cycle has
already reset more than the FLR will.
