With legacy PM, drivers themselves were responsible for managing the device's power states and takes care of register states. And they use PCI helper functions to do it. After upgrading to the generic structure, PCI core will take care of required tasks and drivers should do only device-specific operations. In this driver: netxen_nic_resume() calls netxen_nic_attach_func() which then invokes PCI helper functions like pci_enable_device(), pci_set_power_state() and pci_restore_state(). Other function: - netxen_io_slot_reset() also calls netxen_nic_attach_func(). Also, netxen_io_slot_reset() returns specific value based on the return value of netxen_nic_attach_func() as whole. Thus, cannot simply move some piece of code from netxen_nic_attach_func() to it. Hence, define a new function netxen_nic_attach_late_func() to do the tasks which has to be done after PCI helper functions have done their job. Now, netxen_nic_attach_func() invokes netxen_nic_attach_late_func(), thus netxen_io_slot_reset() behaves normally. And, netxen_nic_resume() calls netxen_nic_attach_late_func() to avoid PCI helper functions calls. Compile-tested only. Signed-off-by: Vaibhav Gupta <vaibhavgupta40@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
