Look at this line:
 >> +		reset_event[0] = kasprintf(GFP_KERNEL, "%s", "GPU RESET=0");

It doesn't exist in reset_and_wakeup (specifically, the "GPU RESET=0" 
part). It's a uevent that happens at the time of the actual GPU reset 
(GDRST register write). In the subsequent TDR commit we add another one 
to the point of the actual engine reset, which also includes information 
about what exact engine was reset.

The uevents in reset_and_wakeup only tell the user that an error has 
been detected and that some kind of reset has happened, these new 
uevents specify exactly what kind of reset has happened. This particular 
one on its own it's not very meaningful since there is only one 
supported form of reset at this point but once we add engine reset 
support it's useful to be able to discern the types of resets from each 
other (GPU reset, RCS engine reset, VCS engine reset, VCS2 engine reset, 
BCS engine reset, VECS engine reset).

Does that make sense?

Thanks,
Tomas
