Agreed, we should add a new function level reset method for this rather
than a device specific reset.  At that point the extent of the device
specific quirk could be to restrict SBR.  It'd be useful to know what
these devices are (not in pciids yet), why we expect to only see them in
specific platforms (embedded device?), and the failure mode of the SBR.
Thanks,
