Right; I called out in the cover letter this is pending feedback from Bjorn.

It's only the PCIe root port that is used for XHCI tunneling that has 
this issue.  This specific problem is NOT for the root port of "any" AMD 
XHCI controllers.  There is no problem with any of the XHCI controllers
going into D3hot.

So if a quirk was used in the XHCI driver, it's going to mean examining 
the topology of the PCI devices to find the right one.  I really don't 
think this is a scalable way to do it.

The big advantage of the way this quirking is done now is that it should 
mirror how Windows makes the decision.  On Windows the uPEP ACPI driver 
uses the constraints to orchestrate the desired ACPI states for Modern 
Standby.  In Linux we can then use the matching driver (amd-pmc) to make 
the decision.
