Do you happen to know if the new dev_pm_ops thing handle WOL / WoW [1]?

For WoW right here we'd do

pci_prepare_to_sleep(pdev) and bail out.

And here we'd call something like this:

pci_wake_from_d3(pdev, !!sc->wow_triggers_enabled);

Are all drivers being converted?

It'll be a while before we get WoW enabled on ath5k but it is
technically possible, the work was tested for ath9k back in July [2]
but I never submitted this to be merged due to some inconsistent
issues I was noticing with the hardware.
