I dunno who and why created that specific bitwise type. I met not the first
time the same Sparse complain.

In some places I have fixed that by forcing the lvalue type, i.e.

	(__force int)PCI_D3hot

or so.

Also there are two other approaches
- leave as is (ignore this warning)
- create a helper that will convert PCI power type to an integer, like

	switch (pci_pwr) {
	default:
		return -EINVAL;
	case PCI_D3hot:
		return 3;
	...
	}

But I consider the second one is a bit silly. Dunno if PCI core has this already.
