I think that depends upon how you want to handle the lack of _S0W.

On these problematic devices there is no _S0W under the PCIe
root port.  As I said; Windows puts them into D0 in this case though.

So acpi_dev_power_state_for_wake should return ACPI_STATE_UNKNOWN.

Can you suggest where you think adding a acpi_dev_power_state_for_wake() 
does make sense?

Two areas that I think would work would be in: pci_pm_suspend_noirq() 
(to avoid calling pci_prepare_to_sleep)

or

directly in pci_prepare_to_sleep() to check that value in lieu of 
pci_target_state().
