And, 3. clkpm_store(), when the user writes to the "clkpm" sysfs file,
right?

IIUC, clkpm_disable really tells us whether we can enable clkpm.  The
only place we test clkpm_disable is in pcie_set_clkpm():

  pcie_set_clkpm(struct pcie_link_state *link, int enable)
  {
    if (!link->clkpm_capable || link->clkpm_disable)
      enable = 0;
    pcie_set_clkpm_nocheck(link, enable);
  }

So in other words, if clkpm_disable is set, we will never call
pcie_set_clkpm_nocheck() to *enable* clkpm.  We will only call it to
*disable* clkpm.

Tangent: I think the usefulness of pcie_set_clkpm_nocheck() being a
separate function is gone.  I think things will be a little simpler if
we integrate it into pcie_set_clkpm().  Separate preliminary patch, of
course.

What did we gain by renaming this?  AFAICT this only affects clkpm
(the only test of pm_disabled is in pcie_set_clkpm()).

Something is seriously wrong here because clkpm_store() no longer does
anything with "state_enable", the value we got from the user.
