Revert "powerpc/eeh: Don't unfreeze PHB PE after reset"



This reverts commit 527d10ef.

The reverted commit breaks cxlflash devices following an EEH reset (and
possibly other cxl devices, however this has not been tested).

The reverted commit changed the behaviour of eeh_reset_device() so that PHB
PEs are not unfrozen following the completion of the reset. This should not
be problematic, as no device resources should have been associated with the
PHB PE.

However, when attempting to load the cxlflash driver after a reset, the
driver attempts to read Vital Product Data through a call to
pci_read_vpd() (which is called on the physical cxl device, not on the
virtual AFU device). pci_read_vpd() in turn attempts to read from the cxl
device's config space. This fails, as the PE it's trying to read from is
still frozen. In turn, the driver gets an -ENODEV and fails to initialise.

It appears this issue only affects some parts of the VPD area, as "lspci
-vvv", which only reads a subset of the VPD bytes, is not broken by the
original patch.

At this stage, we don't fully understand why we're trying to read a frozen
PE, and we don't know how this affects other cxl devices. It is possible
that there is an underlying bug in the cxl driver or the powerpc CAPI
support code, or alternatively a bug in the PCI resource allocation/mapping
code that is incorrectly mapping resources to PE#0.

As such, this fix is incomplete, however it is necessary to prevent a
serious regression in CAPI support.

In the meantime, revert the commit, especially as it was intended to be a
non-functional change.
