Thanks Imre for review, First of all Display/Gfx is a single
function pci device. As per PMC HAS display should not put into
D3 for HPD to work. Once Punit gets a PM response with DC9 Ready,
and conditions outside display indicate the system is ready for
power down, Punit will save device 2 PCI config and device 2 MMIO
registers that are marked for save in the RDL/XML, then remove
power from display completely (Vnn). So I feel if Vnn is down
there is no chance of power leak.

I think these will be based on h/w architecture. As you mentioned
below #PME is one way which I feel followed by wifi/ethernet devices.
But this can not be general solution for other devices which might
block S0ix, but without display/gfx in D3 as we can achieve S0ix
so have taken this approach.

Not have much idea why it is not supported and is there any plan to support
in future .. :(

Only BXT has a special HPD control register in PMC which helps routing
the hpd interrupt during sleep. So other platform we can not support
this feature.

Need to explore with platform architect, but we already had a discussion and this
approach is recommended by platform architecture team.

Ok .. I can try out. This is doable.
