I think it's important that we be very clear here. If ISOLATEB is
asserted, does that mean the PCIe link is down? Or does it only mean
that the RTL8111 cannot be enumerated.
If the PCIe link remains down as long as ISOLATEB is asserted, then it
sounds like there's more going on than this GPIO just keeping the
RTL8111 from talking on the PCI bus. In that case we would probably have
to model this as some sort of power regulator for the bus.
However, if the PCIe link can be brought up if the RTL8111 is isolated,
but if the device can only not be enumerated, then we could still have
the RTL8111 driver deassert ISOLATEB early during resume. We only have
to make sure that it happens before any PCI requests are sent to the
device.
