Honestly, I wouldn't do that, at least not this way.

Somebody might be using pcie_port_pm=force already, for example, and
it works for them for PCIe, but the PCI-to-PCI part of the same system
may not.

IMO the behavior of pcie_port_pm= should be as is and I don't see
what's wrong with it being documented.

Of course, you can add pci=bridge_pm/no_bridge_pm to extend the scope,
but for what reason really?  Just to follow the letter of the spec?
