Will do.

It is indeed set whenever there is any _PRx method. I wonder if it is
appropriate to access fields directly like this, perhaps this would be
more accurate (based on device_pm.c):

    /* Check whether the _PR3 method is available. */
    return adev->power.states[ACPI_STATE_D3_COLD].flags.valid;

I am also considering adding a check in case the pcieport driver does
not support D3cold via runtime PM, what do you think of this?

    if (!parent_pdev)
        return false;
    /* If the PCIe port does not support D3cold via runtime PM, allow a
     * fallback to the Optimus DSM method to put the device in D3cold. */
    if (parent_pdev->no_d3cold)
        return false;

This is needed to avoid the regression reported in the cover letter, but
also allows pre-2015 systems to (still) have the D3cold possibility.


Out of curiosity I looked up an pre-2015 laptop (found Acer V5-573G,
apparently from November 2013, Windows 8.1) and extracted the ACPI
tables from the BIOS images. BIOS 2.28 (2014/05/13) introduces support
for power resources on the parent devicea(\_SB.PCI0.PEG0._PR3 and a
related NVP3 device) when _OSI("Windows 2013") is true. (This is added
as alternative for the old DSM interface.)

Maybe 2014 is also an appropriate cutoff date? I wonder if it is
feasible to detect firmware use of _OSI("Windows 2013") and use that
instead of the BIOS year.
