Applied as below to pci/pm for v5.11.

I guess this will be alongside the existing "power/" directory.
Rafael, is there any precedent we should be following here?

commit 9f1c0ebea21a ("PCI: Add sysfs attribute for device power state")
Author: Maximilian Luz <luzmaximilian@gmail.com>

PCI: Add sysfs attribute for device power state

While PCI power states D0-D3hot can be queried from user-space via lspci,
D3cold cannot. lspci cannot provide an accurate value when the device is
in D3cold as it has to restore the device to D0 before it can access its
power state via the configuration space, leading to it reporting D0 or
another on-state. Thus lspci cannot be used to diagnose power consumption
issues for devices that can enter D3cold or to ensure that devices properly
enter D3cold at all.

Add a new sysfs device attribute for the PCI power state, showing the
current power state as seen by the kernel.

[bhelgaas: drop READ_ONCE(), see discussion at the link]
