This looks like a bug in the firmware.

It is hard to imagine a design in which some power resources only need
to be "on" in the D3hot power state of a device and not in D0 (which
is implied by the lack of _PR0 and the presence of _PR3).

So when the device goes from D0 to D3hot, we are expected to turn some
power resources "on"?  What sense does this make?

I'm guessing that this only works at all, because we only use D0 and
D3cold with the affected devices and _PS0 simply turns the power
resource(s) in question on.

Well, this makes things work on the particular affected platform, but
that seems to be just by accident, because _PS0 does something special
on it.

IMO this needs to be addressed elsewhere and in a different way.

Namely, it looks like if _PR0 is not present (or its return package is
empty), but _PR3 is present, we should use the _PR3 list of power
resources for D0 as well as for D3hot.

Let me cut a patch for that.

Thanks!
