[PATCH v10] Add device-specific reset for Qualcomm devices

Some Qualcomm PCIe devices (WCN6855/WCN7850 WiFi cards, SDX62/SDX65 modems)
lack working reset methods for VFIO passthrough scenarios. These devices
have no FLR capability, advertise NoSoftRst+ (blocking PM reset), and have
broken bus reset.
The problem manifests in VFIO passthrough scenarios:
- WCN6855 (17cb:1103) and WCN7850 (17cb:1107) WiFi devices:
Normal VM operation works fine, including clean shutdown/reboot.
However, when the VM terminates uncleanly (crash, force-off), VFIO
attempts to reset the device before it can be assigned to another VM.
Without a working reset method, the device remains in an undefined state,
preventing reuse.
- SDX62/SDX65 (17cb:0308) 5G modems: Never successfully initialize even
on first VM assignment without proper reset capability.
Add device-specific reset methods using BAR-space hardware reset registers
that exist in these devices:
- WCN6855/WCN7850 WiFi devices use SoC global reset via BAR0 (sequence from
ath11k/ath12k driver: ath11k_pci_soc_global_reset(), ath11k_pci_sw_reset(),
ath11k_mhi_set_mhictrl_reset()):
- Write/clear reset bit at offset 0x3008
- Wait for PCIe link recovery (up to 5 seconds)
- Clear MHI controller SYSERR status at offset 0x38
- SDX62/SDX65 modem devices use MHI SoC reset via BAR0 (sequence from MHI
driver: mhi_soc_reset(), mhi_pci_reset_prepare()):
- Write reset request to offset 0xb0
- Wait 2 seconds for reset completion
These are true hardware reset mechanisms (not power management or firmware
error recovery), providing proper device reset for VFIO scenarios.
Testing was performed on desktop platforms with M.2 WiFi and modem cards
using M.2-to-PCIe adapters, including extensive force-reset cycling to
verify stability.

v10:
- Complete redesign based on maintainer feedback (Manivannan Sadhasivam,
Alex Williamson): use actual hardware reset registers from
device drivers instead of D3hot power cycling
