On SC7280, it is the Resource Power Manager(RPMh) that's powering the devices
down by cutting off the PCIe voltage domain. But the SC7280 RC driver itself
may put the PCIe devices into D3cold state during system suspend.

So to cover both cases (one is a hardware independent of SoC and another one is
the device driver), and to be generic, I've used the term "OS" after looking at
the previous flags.
