🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

Restart the card from scratch, as if from a cold-boot. 💀✨

so picture this: the card has just been through a whole hard reset (rough, I know), BIOS has come in and done its little fixups, and the config space has been set up identically to what it was at cold boot. everything's back to factory settings, basically a fresh start, main character energy. 🔄👑

so tg3_io_slot_reset just... restarts it from scratch. from zero. from cold-boot. no cap. 🧚
