What does this have to do with the patch?  I don't see any NVMe or
WLAN patches here.

What's the connection with L1.x?  Links enter L1.x based on activity
and timing.  That doesn't seem like a reliable indicator to turn PHYs
off and disable clocks.

Why is "is_suspended" important for the commit log?  It looks like
just a standard implementation detail.

Add blank lines between paragraphs.  Or rewrap into a single paragraph.
