Subject: [PATCH v8] pci: prevent putting nvidia GPUs into lower device states on certain intel bridges

Fixes the infamous 'runtime PM' bug many users are facing on Laptops with
Nvidia Pascal GPUs by skipping said PCI power state changes on the GPU.

Depending on the used kernel there might be messages like those in demsg:

"nouveau 0000:01:00.0: Refused to change power state, currently in D3"
"nouveau 0000:01:00.0: can't change power state from D3cold to D0 (config
space inaccessible)"
followed by backtraces of kernel crashes or timeouts within nouveau.

It's still unkown why this issue exists, but this is a reliable workaround
and solves a very annoying issue for user having to choose between a
crashing kernel or higher power consumption of their Laptops.

v2: convert to pci_dev quirk
    put a proper technical explanation of the issue as a in-code comment
v3: disable it only for certain combinations of intel and nvidia hardware
v4: simplify quirk by setting flag on the GPU itself
v5: restructure quirk to make it easier to add new IDs
    fix whitespace issues
    fix potential NULL pointer access
    update the quirk documentation
v6: move quirk into nouveau
v7: fix typos and commit message
v8: reset the pm_cap field to get rid of changes in pci core (thanks to
    Bjorn for this idea)

+/*
+ * On some Intel PCIe bridge controllers doing a
+ * D0 -> D3hot -> D3cold -> D0 sequence causes Nvidia GPUs to not reappear.
+ * Skipping the intermediate D3hot step seems to make it work again. This is
+ * probably caused by not meeting the expectation the involved AML code has
+ * when the GPU is put into D3hot state before invoking it.
+ *
+ * This leads to various manifestations of this issue:
+ *  - AML code execution to power on the GPU hits an infinite loop (as the
+ *    code waits on device memory to change).
+ *  - kernel crashes, as all PCI reads return -1, which most code isn't able
+ *    to handle well enough.
+ *
+ * In all cases dmesg will contain at least one line like this:
+ * 'nouveau 0000:01:00.0: Refused to change power state, currently in D3'
+ * followed by a lot of nouveau timeouts.
+ *
+ * In the \_SB.PCI0.PEG0.PG00._OFF code deeper down writes bit 0x80 to the not
+ * documented PCI config space register 0x248 of the Intel PCIe bridge
+ * controller (0x1901) in order to change the state of the PCIe link between
+ * the PCIe port and the GPU. There are alternative code paths using other
+ * registers, which seem to work fine (executed pre Windows 8):
+ *  - 0xbc bit 0x20 (publicly available documentation claims 'reserved')
+ *  - 0xb0 bit 0x10 (link disable)
+ * Changing the conditions inside the firmware by poking into the relevant
+ * addresses does resolve the issue, but it seemed to be ACPI private memory
+ * and not any device accessible memory at all, so there is no portable way of
+ * changing the conditions.
+ * On a XPS 9560 that means bits [0,3] on \CPEX need to be cleared.
+ *
+ * The only systems where this behavior can be seen are hybrid graphics laptops
+ * with a secondary Nvidia Maxwell, Pascal or Turing GPU. It's unclear whether
+ * this issue only occurs in combination with listed Intel PCIe bridge
+ * controllers and the mentioned GPUs or other devices as well.
+ *
+ * documentation on the PCIe bridge controller can be found in the
+ * "7th Generation Intel® Processor Families for H Platforms Datasheet Volume 2"
+ * Section "12 PCI Express* Controller (x16) Registers"
