That's correct.  The driver shoulnd't touch the generic-PCI part of wakeup
preparation, but it _should_ configure the device-specific part of it.

It's quite similar to network adapters where you have to configure the adapter
to react to magic packets, for example, in addition to the PCI PME setup done
by the core.
