The restart command doesn't behave like other commands. It doesn't return an error code (which indicates a failed transfer in the dln2 module so the probe fails). Attached is a system log snippet to give you a better idea.
I'm able to consistently reproduce this behavior on 4.12 by registering an ADC event on the DLN2 then restarting the host without powering off. Without the dln2_restart patch, it ends on the `dln2: probe of 1-2:1.0 failed with error -110' line. Shortly after issuing the restart, the kernel indicates a device disconnect, and it reconnects about 400ms later, with a usable device state.
