If I understand correctly, when we put a device in D3cold on an ACPI
system, we do something like this:

  pci_set_power_state(D3cold)
    if (PCI_DEV_FLAGS_NO_D3)
      return 0                                   <-- nothing at all if quirked
    pci_raw_set_power_state
      pci_write_config_word(PCI_PM_CTRL, D3hot)  <-- set to D3hot
    __pci_complete_power_transition(D3cold)
      pci_platform_power_transition(D3cold)
        platform_pci_set_power_state(D3cold)
          acpi_pci_set_power_state(D3cold)
            acpi_device_set_power(ACPI_STATE_D3_COLD)
              ...
                acpi_evaluate_object("_OFF")     <-- set to D3cold

I did not understand the connection with platform (ACPI) power
management from your patch.  It sounds like you want this entire path
except that you want to skip the PCI_PM_CTRL write?

That seems like something Rafael should weigh in on.  I don't know
why we set the device to D3hot with PCI_PM_CTRL before using the ACPI
methods, and I don't know what the effect of skipping that is.  It
seems a little messy to slice out this tiny piece from the middle, but
maybe it makes sense.
