Had a short chat discussion with Gavin Shan on this patchset and he
preffers restoring the freeze_count on the eeh_pe once FRESET is done.
He expects a the flow to be similar to one below

1. module caches the value of freeze_count and resets it
2. Issue warm reset
3. During eeh error-detected callback module restores the freeze_count
from the cached value.

I'm inclined to think that's unnecessarily complex for relatively 
limited gain - I can't imagine there's that many people reflashing their 
CAPI devices so many times in quick succession that the counter won't 
hit 5 in a real failure case.
