Why exactly cannot EEH reset changes go to a smaller separate patchset
(before hotplug)?

As I explained before, the patchset's order is: PCI generic part,
PowerNV PCI related, EEH related, device-tree part and hotplug driver.

The EEH reset change is included in PATCH[37/45]. There is no point
to reorder the patches.

I don't understand all of the dependencies but if possible splitting the 
series up into a set of smaller self-contained patch series makes things 
easier to review and may make it easier for you to get this functionality 
reviewed and accepted into upstream.

Thanks, Alistair. I will move those cleanup/refactor related patches
to form a separate series which is expected to be merged first. That
will helps the reviewers to focus on the patches with complicated
changes as you suggested. Alexey, please let me know if that way is
you like to see or not.

Thanks,
Gavin

Alistair
