Rafael, could you please add your thoughts here?

I don't see any null pointer dereference here.
The problem is exactly that we do the initialization and the we give up
on the
device and end up blocking the runtime pm in some state that we cannot
change.

as for this one here I get:
[ 9036.357078] i915 0000:03:00.0: Runtime PM usage count underflow!

Well, this is indeed awkward.
Rafael, do you know what we could be missing here to ensure we get the
proper d3?
I noticed that with the linux param vfio-pci.ids=8086:<dg2_id> it does
get us to the d3.
# setpci -s 03:00.0 0xd4.l
0000010b
While with the approach in this patch or the noidle() I also get
the 00000008
Thanks,
Rodrigo.
