Hi Gavin,

Yishai (added to the CC) is few days before sending a patchset to fix
the reset flow and inside it there is a fix to EEH recovery.
I would be happy if you could wait for the whole reset flow fix by Yishai.

If you'd like, I can send you the patchset to try. Currently it is under
review inside Mellanox before being sent to the mailing list.

Thanks,
Amir
