Problem summary
When flashing a FW image that prevents the device from becoming operation again after the PCI reset can result in a crash. Crash will only occur when doing the FW update and not while configuring the adapter normally after reboot.
Problem conclusion
Add check during the resume error handling to see if a FW update had just occurred and perform a restart instead of an assert to try and recover from the failure. If recovery is impossible after the restart, then put the device in a DEAD state.
