The PTM Responder Capable bit (bit 1 in Table 7-145) is a HwInit bit
in the PTM Capability register, so it's read-only from the kernel's
perspective.

The line you mention ("ctrl = PCI_PTM_CTRL_ENABLE | PCI_PTM_CTRL_ROOT")
is turning on bits in the PTM Control register, not the Capability
register.
