Thanks for this work!

Add blank lines between paragraphs.

s/D3Cold/D3cold/ to match other uses in drivers/pci/

Add blank line between paragraphs. Actually, you can just omit the
last sentence because it doesn't tell us anything useful.

Spurious blank line.

"ret" is unnecessary; see below.

I think bdev should start with pci_upstream_bridge(dev).

IIUC you intend that "dev" is the Endpoint or Upstream Port for which
a driver wants PERST# assertion to be delayed. Per sec 4.6.11, the
_DSM must be in a Downstream Port, not the device itself.

Sec 4.6.11 also says we should track this per Downstream Port and
request the maximum of delays requested by any child. So I think we
need to:

- add a perst_delay in struct pci_dev

- when we find this _DSM, set
bdev.perst_delay = max(bdev.perst_delay, delay_us)

- pass bdev.perst_delay to the _DSM instead of delay_us

I think this message should use "bdev" instead of "dev". I know the
request is for "dev", but the delay connected to bdev and applies to
all functions below the Downstream Port.

Wrap such that the string itself isn't broken across lines, but the
"delay_us" is one the next line (as in the "failed" message below).

No need for the "else"; we can just return error early and unindent
the normal path:

if (result != delay_us) {
pci_info(bdev, "... failed");
return -EINVAL;
}

pci_info(bdev, "... set");
return 0;
