Yes, that is the intention. Applying this just makes the hotplug code wait for
the presence detect bit to be set before proceeding, which ideally wouldn't hurt
anything--for devices that don't have inband presence detect disabled, presence
detect should already be up when the code in patch 2/3 starts to wait for it.
The only issue should be with broken hotplug implementations that don't ever
bring presence detect active (these apparently exist)--but even those would still
work, they would just take an extra second to come up.
On the other hand, a number of Dell systems have (and will have) NVMe
implementations that have inband presence detect disabled (but they won't have
the new bit implemented to report that), and they don't work correctly without
this.
