As I am sure I have mentioned before, it was to handle misbehaving
partners, to enforce that the system goes into error recovery state
and (hopefully) recover the partner enough to be able to reconnect.
This is the same reason why resetting the counter is commented out
in SRC_SEND_CAPABILITIES and reset in SRC_READY instead. The typical
sequence was that the state machine would process from SRC_UNATTACHED
to some point and then stall / time out, but never be in disconnected
state.

Always resetting the hard reset counter in tcpm_detach() would disable
error recovery in that situation, and affected partners would never
recover. Effectively it would disable error recovery in any state machine
cycle which involves an unattached state, which makes me really question
if it is indeed mandated by the specification to reset the hard reset
counter at that point.
