I suppose that runtime PM is disabled for that device and therefore
runtime_status is meaningless.

And really, that attribute is for *debugging* things by developers who know
what they are looking for and not for random poking.

Besides, this is a host bridge, not a DRAM controller.

I suppose it wouldn't work if the PCI host bridge were suspended.  At least
it couldn't access memory and the PCI bus then.

Thanks,
Rafael
