Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 1 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [High] The patch breaks Wake-on-LAN and PME from S4/S5 (hibernation/poweroff) by unconditionally powering off PCIe endpoints and disabling auxiliary power.

PCI: dwc: Force L2 link entry on shutdown/reboot without D3cold check

This commit modifies dw_pcie_suspend_noirq() to force the PCIe link into L2
during system shutdown or reboot. It bypasses the pci_host_common_d3cold_possible()
check to prevent the link from staying up when endpoints fail to suspend.

[Severity: High]
When shutdown is true, the code jumps straight to the d3cold label, entirely
bypassing the pci_host_common_d3cold_possible() check. Because pme_capable
is initialized to false, doesn't this mean it will unconditionally remain
false during shutdown or poweroff?

If pme_capable remains false, later in dw_pcie_suspend_noirq() under the
stop_link label, we set:

	pci->pp.skip_pwrctrl_off = pme_capable;
	dw_pcie_stop_link(pci);

Will this cause the host driver to explicitly cut auxiliary power to the
endpoints, breaking Wake-on-LAN and PME generation from S4 (hibernation)
or S5 (poweroff) for devices that were correctly configured for wakeup?
