I don't think this is actually true.  Section 6.6.1 of the spec defines
3 types of conventional resets, cold, warm and hot.  I believe the one
we're interested in is hot, which is an in-band mechanism for
propagating a conventional reset across a link.  Section 4.2.5.11
defines hot reset:

        Hot Reset uses bit 0 (Hot Reset) in the Training Control field
        (see Table 4-5 and Table 4-6) within the TS1 and TS2 Ordered
        Sets.
        
        A Link can enter Hot Reset if directed by a higher Layer. A Link
        can also reach the Hot Reset state by receiving two consecutive
        TS1 Ordered Sets with the Hot Reset bit asserted (see Section
        4.2.6.11).

Section 4.2.6.11 then goes on as:

      * Lanes that were not directed by a higher Layer to initiate Hot
        Reset (i.e., received two consecutive TS1 Ordered Sets with the
        Hot Reset bit asserted on any configured Lanes):
              * If any Lane of an Upstream Port of a Switch receives two
                consecutive TS1 Ordered Sets with the Hot Reset bit
                asserted, all configured Downstream Ports must
                transition to Hot Reset as soon as possible.
              * All Lanes in the configured Link transmit TS1 Ordered
                Sets with the Hot Reset bit asserted and the configured
                Link and Lane numbers.

Also included is the footnote:

        Note: Generally, Lanes of a Downstream or optional crosslink
        Port will be directed to Hot Reset, and Lanes of an Upstream or
        optional crosslink Port will enter Hot Reset by receiving two
        consecutive TS1 Ordered Sets with the Hot Reset bit asserted on
        any configured Lanes...

So I think that means that if a hot reset is received by an upstream
port, it's propagated to the downstream ports and on to the downstream
links.  The latter point is where there's potential for interpretation.

Going back to sections 6.6.1, we can generate a hot reset via:

      * For any Root or Switch Downstream Port, setting the Secondary
        Bus Reset bit of the Bridge Control register associated with the
        Port must cause a hot reset to be sent.
      * For a Switch, the following must cause a hot reset to be sent on
        all Downstream Ports:
              * Setting the Secondary Bus Reset bit of the Bridge
                Control register associated with the    Upstream Port
              * Receiving a hot reset on the Upstream Port

Sounds like it propagates to me.  But, re-reading this patch, I think
the goal is to attempt a bus reset on the most downstream
root/downstream port, but it's pretty confusing.

I also have a need to add a bus reset interface, in my case though the
end goal is specifically to reset display class devices to get them into
a usable state.  I just want to provide the kernel interfaces though,
it's up to the drivers how to use them.  Thanks,
