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

just noticed that the patch title should be changed..

drm/nouveau: prevent putting nvidia GPUs into lower device states on
certain intel bridges

or

drm/nouveau: workaround runpm fail by disabling PCI power management
on certain intel bridges
