Is it possible that the ngbe driver ignores this hardware reset request?

If ngbe_do_reset() only performs an action when reinit is true, it appears it
would be a no-op when called with false from this AER recovery path. Will
this leave the ngbe MAC hardware uninitialized after the PCI slot reset and
break the device when traffic resumes?

Does this code need to check the return value of ndo_open()?

If ndo_open() fails due to memory allocation or IRQ request failures, the
resources will remain unallocated. Because the failure is ignored and
netif_device_attach() is called unconditionally below, will the networking
stack invoke the transmit handler and dereference the unallocated rings?
