So do you prefer to just disable runtime PM for the downstream device?

I think this will also prevent non-root port devices from using PME.

So for this case, should we prevent the downstream devices from
runtime suspending, or let it suspend but keep the root port active in
order to make pci_pme_list_scan() work?
