Subject: [RFC][PATCH] PCI PM: Be extra careful when changing power states of devices

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@...k.pl>

The story in http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12846 shows
that setting the power state of a PCI device by
pci_raw_set_power_state() may sometimes fail.  For this reason,
pci_raw_set_power_state() should not assume that the power state of
the device has actually changed after writing into its PMCSR.
Instead, it should read the value from there and use it to update
dev->current_state.  It also is useful to print a warning if the
device's power state hasn't changed as expected.
