Re: [PATCH 2/2] powerpc/eeh: Use pcie_reset_state_t type in function arguments

The pcie_reset_state_t type has been introduced in the commit
f7bdd12d234d ("pci: New PCI-E reset API") along with the enum
pcie_reset_state, but it has never been used for anything else
other than to define the members of the enumeration set in the
enum pcie_reset_state.

Thus, replace the direct use of enum pcie_reset_state in function
arguments and replace it with pcie_reset_state_t type so that the
argument type matches the type used in enum pcie_reset_state.

I don't understand the purpose of this change. Does any tool like sparse 
of so reports an error here ?

My feeling is that by doing this you loose the added value of using an 
enumerate.

state is used in a switch/case, that's exactly what we expect from an enum.

By the way, I think you can't change the prototype of a weak function in 
a patch and not change it at the same time for the overloading function.

So should you still think this change is necessary, I think patch 1 and 
2 should be squashed together in one.
