I'm still worried about this.

If power state based suspend does always work despite a HMB and is
preferred for the specific Google board we should have purely a DMI
based quirk for the board independent of the NVMe controller used with
it.

But if these LiteON devices can't properly handle nvme_dev_disable
calls we have much deeper problems, because it can be called in all
kinds of places, including suspending when not on this specific board.

That being said, I still really do not understand this sentence and thus
the problem at all:
