[Nouveau] [PATCH v2 0/4] Potential fix for runpm issues on various laptops

[Karol Herbst]

ping to the pci folks? I really would like to know what you make out of it.

In fact, this kind of looks like a pcie issue, but I just don't know
enough to really be able to tell. I am mainly wondering why putting
the device with a 2.5 vs a 8.0 link into d3cold makes the resume path
break? Any ideas? broken pcie controller? broken implementation on the
gpu?
