Hi Rodrigo ,
It seems playing with these runtime hooks, will only enable the "runtime
suspend"
but actual state in "PMCSR" pci config is D0 despite device is runtime
suspended, when there is no driver.
Example:
root@DUT2135-DG2MRB:/home/gta# cat
/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:03\:00.0/power/runtime_status
suspended
root@DUT2135-DG2MRB:/home/gta# setpci -s 03:00.0 0xd4.l
00000008
(Bits 00:01 are the power state in PMCSR(offset = 4) config register from PM
Cap offset at 0xd0).
Thanks,
Anshuman Gupta.
