The original intent here is to allow commands during reset to succeed without error when the device is disabled, to ensure that cleanup completes normally during NIC close, where firmware is not necessarily expected to respond. The problem with faking success during reset's PCI disablement is that unrelated ULP commands will also see inadvertent success during reset when failure would otherwise be appropriate. It is better to return a different error result such that reset related code can detect this unique condition and ignore as appropriate. Note, the pci_disable_device() when firmware is fatally wounded in bnxt_fw_reset_close() does not need to be addressed, as subsequent commands are already expected to fail due to the BNXT_NO_FW_ACCESS() check in bnxt_hwrm_do_send_msg().

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.
