Hi Bjorn,
Sorry for the belated response.

Both running lspci and suspending the device can observe the error,
because both are accessing the config space.

My point was that any kind of PCI config access can cause the error.
Using lspci is just make the error more easier to reproduce.

For now, it's just GL975x.

The target device state is D3hot.
However, the issue happens when the devices is in D0, when the PCI
core is saving the device's config space.
So I think the issue isn't related to the device state.

Yes, there isn't any D-state change happens here.
