PTM gets disabled correctly during suspend, by commit c01163dbd1b8
("PCI/PM: Always disable PTM for all devices during suspend").
Before that commit the suspend will fail.

Yes. When S3 resume, I guess the firmware resets the dock and/or I225
so PTM request starts even before the OS is resumed.
AFAIK the issue doesn't happen when s2Idle is used.

The S3 resume enables PTM regardless of OS involvement. So I don't
think this will work.

True. This patch is just a workaround.

Have you considered my other proposed approach? Like disable AER
completely during suspend, or even defer the resuming of PCIe services
after the entire hierarchy is resumed?

Sure.
