I assume it's possible for the PCI device to already be powered on
even if there's a pwrctrl device for it?

Does this change the enumeration order in that case?  It sounds like
it may delay enumeration of the PCI device until the pwrctrl core
rescans the bus?

I hope that the enumeration order of all devices that are already
powered on at boot time is unchanged.
