Yep, this is regression.

commit 42eca2302146fed51335b95128e949ee6f54478f ("PCI: Don't touch
card regs after runtime suspend D3") changes state convention during
runtime-suspend transaction too much. If PCI configuration space
has been saved by driver that does not means that all job is done
and device has been suspended and ready for waking up in the future.

e1000e saves pci-config space itself, but it requires operations which
pci_finish_runtime_suspend() does: preparing for wake (calling particular
platform pm-callbacks) and switching to proper sleep state.
