The driver can check that by calling pci_dev_run_wake() which returns false if there's no wakeup support for the device. However, that's not enough on some broken machines where some signal pins are simply not connected to the system core logic (as a result the PCI core thinks that wakeup is supported, but in fact it doesn't work due to the broken hardware - yes, there are machines like this in the wild, Matthew has one).
