On P9, the NPU doesn't support recovery if the link goes down
unexpectedly. It was not fully verified. We mark the device as broken
when we receive an error interrupt from the NPU. However, there's
nothing to prevent the OS from trying to reset the device; It may or
may not work, it's unsupported territory, so let's log a message to
make it clear, as it could help when debugging. We haven't hit any
cases where the reset goes badly enough that we'd want to prevent it,
so let it go for now. We can revisit later if we have evidence that
it's causing more problems than it is worth.
