Right.

No, it isn't.

Runtime PM is expected to only put devices into D-states from where they
can generate PME.

Before the problematic change it would just hold the device in question in D0,
but after that change the device will be suspended (in which case it will end
up in D3hot which is incorrect).

For runtime PM the "wakeup" argument of pci_target_state() should always be
"true", so technically this may be regarded as a separate issue, but this
change is needed as a functional fix for the device in question along with
the reordering.

Since technically there is a state from which the device can signal PME,
device_can_wakeup() returns "true" for it, but this isn't sufficient for
pci_dev_run_wake() to return "true" (because that state is D3cold and
the platform cannot power-manage the device, so the device cannot be put
into D3cold directly).  That's the first thing that needs to be changed.

On top of that, we need to look for a state from which the device can
generate PME.

OK

Right, the comments appear to be stale, I'll send a patch to update them.
