The point of this isn't at all clear.
Is this routine meant to be called during a hibernation
transition? Or is it just for suspend?
And why would the return value ever be anything other than D3_hot? (Or
why would the driver ever want to put a device in a different state?)
AFAICS, the only reason would be because platform_pci_choose_state()
suggested something else. In which case there's no need for the
"policy" argument.
