It looks like Peter added that code with 279cf3f23870
("drm/nouveau/acpi: use DSM if bridge does not support D3cold").

I don't understand the larger picture, but it is somewhat surprising
that nouveau_pr3_present() *looks* like a simple predicate with no
side-effects, but in fact it disables the use of D3cold in some cases.

If the disable were moved to the caller, Kai-Heng's new interface
could be used both places.
