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.
