GPIO is toggled as part of WiFi on/off, can be triggered from network manager UI.

This is fine from a kernel point of view because PCI client driver
doesn't initiate any PCIe transaction until network interface
is up during WiFi on.

Correct, rfkill switch should handle the GPIO.
Sequence will be,
 - WiFi ON
   - rfkill switch enables the WiFi GPIO
   - Tegra PCIe receives hot plug event
   - Tegra PCIe hot plug driver rescans PCI bus and enumerates the device
   - PCI client driver is probed, which will create network interface
 - WiFi OFF
   - rfkill switch disables the WiFi GPIO
   - Tegra PCIe receives hot unplug event
   - Tegra PCIe hot plug driver removes PCI devices under the bus
   - PCI client driver remove is executed, which will remove network interface

We don't need current patch in this case because PCI device is not present
in the PCI hierarchy, so there cannot be EP config access with link down.
However Tegra doesn't support hot plug and unplug events. I am not sure
if we have any software based hot plug event trigger.

I will drop current patch and pursue if above sequence can be
implemented for Tegra.
