Independently from your request, pci_dev_set_io_state() was
converted to cmpxchg() in 2023 with commit 74ff8864cc84
("PCI: hotplug: Allow marking devices as disconnected during
bind/unbind").

So you may now amend EEH to use pcie_do_recovery() or whatever
you needed this for.

I had kept your e-mail in my inbox as a reminder that there's a
remaining issue here and just came across it while clearing out
other messages.

Thanks,

Lukas
