For Root Ports and Switches, we enable PTM (and set Root Select when
appropriate) during enumeration in pci_ptm_init().  This is based on
the assumption that enabling PTM in Root Ports and Switches is a no-op
unless there's an Endpoint that generates PTM Requests.  (It turns out
that's not quite true, because Kai-Heng's bug report [1] shows the
08:00.0 Switch sending PTM Requests even though no Endpoint even has a
PTM Capability.)

If we didn't enable PTM in Root Ports and Switches during enumeration,
we'd have to walk the whole path and enable them when enabling PTM for
an Endpoint.

pci_enable_ptm() currently only works for Endpoints, which cannot be
PTM Roots, so it never has to set PCI_PTM_CTRL_ROOT.

If we clear PCI_PTM_CTRL_ROOT in pci_disable_ptm(), it will never get
set again unless we re-enumerate the Root Port.

Thanks for asking this, because it reminds me why I didn't add
pci_enable_ptm() calls in the resume paths!  That would make them
parallel with the suspend paths, which would definitely be nice.  But
we would have to rework pci_enable_ptm() to work for Root Ports and
Switch Ports as well.  I think we *could* do that.  What do you think?

Regardless of that question, I think it's unnecessary to clear
PCI_PTM_CTRL_ROOT in pci_disable_ptm(), so we should leave it alone.
