[PATCH] drm/nouveau/acpi: use DSM if bridge does not support D3cold

[Peter Wu]

Even if PR3 support is available on the bridge, it will not be used if
the PCI layer considers it unavailable (i.e. on all laptops from 2013
and 2014). Ensure that this condition is checked to allow a fallback to
the Optimus DSM for device poweroff.

Initially I wanted to call pci_d3cold_enable before checking bridge_d3
(in case the user changed d3cold_allowed), but that is such an unlikely
case and likely fragile anyway. The current patch is suggested by Mika
in http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-pci/msg52599.html

Hi,

This idea is floating since July, but was blocked by the PCI D3cold patches.
Since these got into -rc1, here is the promised follow-up patch for v4.8.

Without this patch, some laptops from 2013 and 2014 will regress in v4.8 and
suck more power.

Kind regards,
Peter
