Yes, thanks for asking. Drivers definitely should not have to do this
sort of thing.

I'm not sure what's going on here. Do we need to reset the device
when the t7xx driver is loaded so the device will load new firmware
when it comes out of reset?
There are a few drivers that do that, e.g., with pci_reset_function().

Apparently this only supports a single t7xx instance in a system? Not
good.

No, this driver absolutely cannot rescan and assign unassigned
resources for all the PCI buses in the system.
