Subject: Re: Crash during resume of pcie bridge due to infinite loop in
 ACPICA

This is not an ACPICA problem after all:

I did some more monitoring:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/spasswolf/linux-stable/-/commits/amdgpu_suspend_resume?ref_type=heads
and I still get a crash, but perhaps due to the delays the printk()s caused I actually get a helpful error message in netconsole:

This shows that there seems to be no problem with ACPICA, and acpi_power_on_list(_debug)() returns -ENODEV,
the crash occurs later.

This leaves two question:
1. Is this crash avoidable by different error handling in the pci code?
2. If the crash is not avoidable, can we at least modify the error handling in such a way that 
we get an error message through netconsole by default? (perhaps a little delay will suffice)
