...meaning all LPSS devices (except maybe DMA) are in D3hot.

Sounds like powered off LPSS power island.

Interesting... 

You are telling that there is guaranteed that at least one LPSS device
(except DMA) will be on at any time?

Looks like an answer to the previous question.

Do the commit messages describe this enough along with several comments
inside acpi_lpss.c?

It overrides the lines which propagate clock and reset signals to the
entire LPSS islands.

DMA just happened to be a function 0 (in terms of PCI), so, if it is off
the rest of the functions can not be on.

(this one is a chicken bit to enable hardware linked list transfers on
DMA)

No, automatic power gating is a *hardware* (PMC firmware? I do not
remember details now) feature which is overridden by the code above.

It's something like logical gates where one of the input is what we
supply through these chicken bits.

The proper wording here I suppose *it allows or forbids the automatic
power gating*. It's one layer up I would say. It means it might be a
latency between writing these bits and actual hardware response on them.

Looks like ACPI PM for LPSS should take care of this at probe. When I
wrote the code I was assuming that ACPI enumerated devices are runtime
powered on during ->probe(). For such I did explicit calls in DMA
driver: bb32baf76e56 ("dmaengine: dw: enable runtime PM").
