You should describe the parent-child topology first. Maybe a simple flow like
below will help:

	PCIe Controller
	      |
	PCIe Host bridge
	      |
	PCI-PCI bridge
	      |
	PCIe endpoint

Also explain the fact that since runtime PM is disabled for host bridge, the
state of the child devices under the host bridge is not taken into account by
PM framework for the top level parent, PCIe controller. So PM framework, allows
the controller driver to enter runtime PM irrespective of the state of the
devices under the host bridge. And this causes the topology breakage and also
possible PM issues.
