Yes, although the most recent version of the patch doesn't do the 
forcible power on if no card is detected.

What do you mean by "not work properly"? The hardware we've tested with 
fires events even without an OSHP method being present. That's the case 
we're trying to deal with.

This code no longer runs in the pciehp_passive case. However, by the 
looks of it it still does in the resume case - that probably wants 
fixing.
