I guess "will find it to be disabled" means the child (host bridge) has runtime PM disabled, not that the child device is disabled, right? > So it will allow the parent (controller > device) to go to runtime suspend.

Maybe this is rpm_check_suspend_allowed()? rpm_check_suspend_allowed() checks ".ignore_children", which sounds like it could be related, and AFAICS .ignore_children == false here, so .child_count should be relevant. But I'm still confused about why we can runtime suspend a bridge that leads to devices that are not suspended. > Since runtime PM is disabled for host bridge, the state of the child > devices under the host bridge is not taken into account by PM framework > for the top level parent, PCIe controller.

Do you mean something other than the fact that an endpoint DMA might fail if the controller is suspended? > So enable runtime PM for the host bridge, so that controller driver > goes to suspend only when all child devices goes to runtime suspend. IIUC, the one-sentence description here is that previously, the PCI host controller could be runtime suspended even while an endpoint was active, which caused DMA failures. And this patch changes that so the host controller is only runtime suspended after the entire hierarchy below it is runtime suspended?
