Agree.

The code change I've made only affects D3 cold path, existing code path
to set device power state to D0-D3hot is not affected.

And for D3 cold path, I don't think evaluating _PS3 should do any harm
to the device, isn't it the case?

Do you mean the ACPI spec needs to be updated to reflect which D3
state the device will be at once its _PS3 is evaluated?
