but in pcie_enable_notification() we don't enable PDCE when ATTN is not there.

        cmd = PCI_EXP_SLTCTL_DLLSCE;
        if (ATTN_BUTTN(ctrl))
                cmd |= PCI_EXP_SLTCTL_ABPE;
        else
                cmd |= PCI_EXP_SLTCTL_PDCE;
        if (!pciehp_poll_mode)
                cmd |= PCI_EXP_SLTCTL_HPIE | PCI_EXP_SLTCTL_CCIE;

        mask = (PCI_EXP_SLTCTL_PDCE | PCI_EXP_SLTCTL_ABPE |
                PCI_EXP_SLTCTL_PFDE |
                PCI_EXP_SLTCTL_HPIE | PCI_EXP_SLTCTL_CCIE |
                PCI_EXP_SLTCTL_DLLSCE);

        pcie_write_cmd_nowait(ctrl, cmd, mask);

should we remove that check there ?

so after power off, status bit 3 the PDC get set.
