there is no driver intervention and Nouveau doesn't care at all. It's
all done on the GPU. We just upload a script and some firmware on to
the GPU. The script runs then on the PMU inside the GPU and this
script also causes changing the PCIe link settings. But from a Nouveau
point of view we don't care about the link before or after that script
was invoked. Also there is no ACPI method involved.

But if there is something we should notify pci core about, maybe
that's something we have to do then?

No, that negotiation fails apparently as any attempt to read anything
from the device just fails inside pci core. Or something goes wrong
when resuming the bridge controller.

what is actually meant by "driver" here? The pci subsystem or Nouveau?

but the device isn't reachable at all, not even from the pci
subsystem. All reads fail/return a default error value (0xffffffff).

depends on what is meant by the driver here. Inside Nouveau we don't
care one bit about the current link speed, so I assume you mean
something inside the pci core code?

if we assume that the negotiation on a device level works as intended,
then I would expect this to be a pci core issue, which might actually
be not fixable there. But if it's not, then we would have to put
something like that inside the runpm documentation to tell drivers
they have to do something about it.

But again, for me it just sounds like the negotiation on the device
level fails or something inside pci core messes it up.
