As per Kai-Heng said, it's a regression introduced by commit
b97120b15ebd ("nvme-pci:
use simple suspend when a HMB is enabled"). The affected NVMe is using HMB.
the target nvme ssd uses HMB and the target machine would put nvme to d3cold.
During suspend, nvme driver would shutdown the nvme controller caused by
commit b97120b15ebd ("nvme-pci: use simple suspend when a HMB is enabled").
During resuming, the nvme controller can't change the power state from
d3cold to d0.
    # nvme 0000:58:00.0: can't change power state from D3cold to D0
(config space inaccessible)
Tried some machines, they only put nvme to d3hot so even if nvme is
forced to shutdown,
it could be resumed correctly.

As per commit b97120b15ebd , the TP spec would allow nvme to access
the host memory in any power state in S3.
but the Host would fail to manage. I agree with Kai-Heng's suggestion
but this TP would be broken.

It's a Samsung ssd using HMB.

Thanks, I will refine this.

I referenced the codes of d3cold_allowed_store@...old_allowed_store fun,
As per Bjorn and search in multiple drivers, only pci_d3cold_disable is enough.
