With runtime PM disabled via sysfs, the short answer is not since
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=f9e5b33934cec24b8c024add5c5d65d2f93ade05.

The longer answer is:
1. System boots up with LPM flags in PCI config space in default value
(might be LPM enabled).
2.1. If runtime PM is disabled before first runtime suspend -
registers will be left in their default state.
2.2. If runtime PM is disabled after first runtime suspend, the device
will be woken up and the gl9763e runtime resume callback will disable
LPM.
