The bridge_d3 flag may change at runtime, e.g. when writing to the
d3cold_allowed attribute in sysfs.

If e.g. bridge_d3 is set when pcie_portdrv_probe() runs but no longer
set when pcie_portdrv_remove() runs, there would be a runtime PM ref
imbalance.  (Ref would be dropped on probe, but not reacquired on remove.)

Which is precisely the reason why it (and not the bridge_d3 flag) is
used by pcie_portdrv_{probe,remove,shutdown}().

Thanks,
