> I got that, you are using pci_reset_function() instead of pci_disable_device (the function I was trying). So only one question left, from the comment of pci_reset_function(), it "saves and restores device state over  the reset", then is __pci_reset_function() is more proper here?

Per comments of __pci_reset_function:
 * Resetting the device will make the contents of PCI configuration space
 * random, so any caller of this must be prepared to reinitialise the
 * device including MSI, bus mastering, BARs, decoding IO and memory spaces,
 * etc.

So thought, pci_reset_function would be proper as it saves and restores state.
Please correct if I assumed it wrong.
