Right, but the event is sent to a bridge. The devices under the bridge invoke
wakeup event, not the bridge itself. So you must scan all devices under the
bridge to check which device has its PME registers set.
So the bridge case isn't what you said (notification always sent to a specific
device which invokes the wakeup event)
